hosed    音标拼音: [h'ozd]
A somewhat humorous variant of "{down}", used
primarily by {Unix} {hackers}. "Hosed" implies a condition
thought to be relatively easy to reverse. It is also widely
used of people in the mainstream sense of "in an extremely
unfortunate situation". The term was popularised by fighter
pilots refering to being hosed by machine gun fire (date?).
Usage in hackerdom dates back to {CMU} in the 1970s or
earlier.

{"Acronyms and Abbreviations" from UCC, Ireland
(http://ucc.ie/cgi-bin/acronym)} expands it as "Hardware
Or Software Error Detected", though this is probably a
back-formation.

The {Jargon File} version 4.1.4 1999-06-17 says that it was
probably derived from the Canadian slang "hoser" (meaning "a
man, esp. one who works at a job that uses physical rather
than mental skills and whose habits are slightly offensive but
amusing").

One correspondant speculates about an allusion to a hose-like
body part.

Once upon a time, a {Cray} that had been experiencing periodic
difficulties crashed, and it was announced to have been hosed.
It was discovered that the crash was due to the disconnection
of some coolant hoses. The problem was corrected, and users
were then assured that everything was OK because the system
had been rehosed. See also {dehose}.

See also: {hose}.

(1999-10-28)

hosed: adj. Same as down. Used primarily by Unix
hackers. Humorous: also implies a condition thought to be relatively easy
to reverse. Probably derived from the Canadian slanghoser
popularized by the Bob and Doug Mackenzie skits on SCTV, but this usage
predated SCTV by years in hackerdom (it was certainly already live at CMU
in the 1970s). See hose. It is also widely used of
people in the mainstream sense ofin an extremely unfortunate
situation’.Once upon a time, a Cray that had been experiencing periodic
