 o

What is /are "hosers"!

Pat


 o
RE: Clue Game #66 Puttin' on the Ritz!

I'm not getting the "hosers" hint either.

How about "The Lion King"?


 o
RE: Clue Game #66 Puttin' on the Ritz!

This one should give it up .....

Clue #1 -- Hamlet

Clue #2 -- Brothers

Clue #3 -- Hosers

Clue #4 -- Beer

A hoser is ......

both a slang term and a stereotype, originating from and used primarily in Canada.

Like the very similar but less well-known term hosehead, it originally referred to farmers of the Canadian prairies, who would siphon gas from farming vehicles with a hose during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The expression has since been converted to the verb 'to hose' as in to trick, deceive, or steal - ie: "That card-shark sure hosed me."

Today, the word hoser evokes - sometimes sympathetically, with gentle ribbing, and sometimes negatively - a stereotypical Canadian male, typically lower to middle class, white and English Canadian. He is especially concerned with drinking beer and watching ice hockey. The hoser is understood as a product more of rural, suburban or smaller city Canada than of the cosmopolitan larger cities. He's often imagined wearing heavy winter clothing, usually a flannel lumberjack shirt, Kodiak boots and a tuque. He is generally a young adult to middle age, and may be somewhat aggressive given the beer and hockey, but may conversely be passive and amiable, given the beer. In musical culture, he is correlated with classic and mainstream rock music, particularly with Rush and the earlier, rowdier works of The Tragically Hip. If he goes out socially, it's usually to a donut shop.

A hoser's flannel shirt may also be referred to as a Kenora dinner jacket. (Some regional variations of this term also exist, usually substituting a hoser-stereotyped local community's name in place of Kenora.)

Hoser may also refer more generically to a rude and unkempt person, similar to the more universal terms boor, slob, and lout. However, like other such terms (i.e. jerk) it can also be used in a much more general sense as an all-purpose mild insult. The term is also sometimes used outside of Canada as a mocking term for any Canadian, although this usage may be perceived as offensive because of the word's more particular meaning within Canada.

Bob & Doug McKenzie defined the term as "What you call your little brother when your mother isn't in the room."


 o
RE: Clue Game #66 Puttin' on the Ritz!

You learn something new everyday. I guess it's sort of how we use the term "hoosiers" around here (and I'm NOT talking the about the Indiana team).

I'm gonna guess:
"Affliction"


 o
RE: Clue Game #66 Puttin' on the Ritz!

Strange Brew and if I'm right it is because I cheated


 o
RE: Clue Game #66 Puttin' on the Ritz!

And Minnie gets it! Strange Brew's a bit of a cult classic among Canadians and other fans of SCTV. (I was kind of thinking Clairabelle may get it)

Ok Minnie -- you're up!
