"My mother was Canadian, but she got in legally. :-) Does that count? :-)"
absolutely. we don't discriminate <g>
Yeah, that was back when we let any Canadians in. Now Canada seems to want to let the entire world in, so we've had to become more choosy. :-)
Generous of you. But remember, no good deed goes unpunished. :-)

Not bad at all.

You're going to have to translate that into English.
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 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.
I thought that was ALL Canadians. :-)

Yeah, that's it!
Its use was also popularised in poker circles by Bill Chen, who was once, in jest, famously described by David Sklansky as "the World's Biggest Hoser". The word has become commonly used in poker ever since to describe any "fish" or bad player who is a long term loser at the game of poker.
That's me, so I don't play poker. I specialize in outsmarting and cheating market makers, specialists, and options dealers. :-) |
