Wikipedia
Hoser or hose-head is both a slang term and a derogatory term, originating from Canada and used primarily by those imitating Canadians. It is not often used by Canadians, but it is sometimes used as typical Canadian slang by others.
The term hoser gained popularity from the comedic skits by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas (also known as Bob and Doug McKenzie) in SCTV’s "The Great White North" segments. The characters also used the verb 'to hose' as a synonym for 'to swindle'.
