The structure adds the "-er" suffix to "hose" (a tube used for siphoning liquids), forming a noun for a person who engages in petty theft. It is used in Canada to describe someone who siphons gasoline from a vehicle or equipment, often as a cheap or desperate way to steal fuel. People typically say "That hoser stole my gas again" or "Watch your tank, there are hosers around here." The term originated in Canadian English, likely from rural or blue collar contexts where gasoline theft was a recognized nuisance.
