Hoser

Take kayak and place upright, fill kayak with water, watch kayak, empty kayak, rinse, repeat...

Today, the word hoser evokes a stereotypical Canadian male, typically lower to middle class, white and English Canadian. He is especially concerned with drinking beer and watching hockey or curling. The hoser is understood as a product of a poor and white upbringing, but never from a more cosmopolitan lifestyle, he is more likely to come from a small town or a rural farm community than a big city, although hosers may also exist in the suburbs of major cities.
