Sure! But you'll have to give up any royal title Sir Johnny Baron of Wimbledon.
Quote: Tim Walker @ October 4 2008, 6:48 PM BSTDenis Leary quote... "I don't trust Canadians. They're too nice, they're too clever and they live right above America".
I think those are all endearing qualities. But that could just be a cultural bias.

Is that right Curt?
Interesting and could be right. I know it was created by Rick Moranis and Doug Dave Thomas for their characters Bob and Doug McKenzie on SCTV (an amazing skit show from the 70s everyone should see!). I watched a special on it last month and when questioned about it they said "We thought it sounded funny".
But yes I personally use "hosed" regularly to replace the word "screwed over".
