A recent discussion with real people in the real world threw up the following question, what is a hosebeast? There are many whose very careers hinge on this question, passed down through the ages.

I think it's like a jackass.

Is it the thing one wraps hoses around? Or is it something much worse?

― Nick, Thursday, 20 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Jonnie's right, it is like a Jackass, only with more hoseability.

Jonnie is wrong - it is more like p diddy

I thought they were supposed to be somebody who is ugly and skanky -- for example, Steve Albini calling Courtney "a psycho hosebeast".

Not that I think Courtney is necessarily ugly and skanky, but I thought that was the context of the term.

I thought it was a female beast as hose = tights and other forms of hosiery as mainly worn by women.

If hose = penis, then hosebeast = she who is Fat Slag-ish, drunk, flailing and HEADED FOR YOURS.

I think suzy is right.

It is the dark growling ogre, who could interact in human society were it not for a nasty temper, and who spends its day guarding suburban homes with a pack of venomous snakes.

i thought it was originally orf of Wayne's World, where Mike Myers calls Lara Flynn Boyle a psycho hosebeast. nice image, whatever you make of it.

Is hosebeast misogynistic? Can we still say this?

I think the question is why do you want to?

quoting Wayne's World in a peer-reviewed journal?
