"now I know what hoser means. It means nothing"

--DougR

...nothing or anything DougR. Depends on your imagination. Are you a hoser? Do you have what it takes to admit it? Have a beer, eh?

kendall, you've got a good point there. During the previous discussions on the etiology of the word 'hoser', someone pointed out that the word precedes the SCTV television show. I believe an explanation was given about it's earlier history, but I can't remember right now where it is. I guess I've got some research to do.

Personally, I think 'hoser' is a state of mind. I see it as a way to have a little fun in a self deprecating sort of way. A form of humor with which, although no Canadian I know will ever admit this, Canadians are exceptionally good.

So here are some cases of beer. Build yourself a lazyboy and have a beer, eh?

The irony is that I started this thread thinking I could have a place to play with my friends where our fun wouldn't be curtailed, because I put the word 'Tavern' in the title. It seems to work for other people, so I thought I would give it a try.

Ok, you hosers! Somebody go get Blind Drunk in Blind River, eh?
