Sure, at here Deep Thought (the student's TOPS-20), we "hose"
each other all the time.  It's sort of like getting "hacked,"
with a subtle difference:  hacking usually involves something
clever (Cal-Tech "hacked" the Rose Bowl, MIT people "hacked"
the Harvard-Yale game), whereas hosing can be something as
unoriginal as knocking someone over when they're leaning back
in their chair.  Also, anything that you say "Yah!!" for is
a hose.  Putting an empty coke can in someone's jacket sleeve
is a hack.  We used to keep a hose down here.  One day, our
department head came down here and started playing with it.
After a couple of days, we didn't see it anymore.  I think 
he came down here when we weren't around and took it.  We 
have another one now, but it's not as good as the original
(nothing ever is).  
  I hope this has cleared things up for people.
