What does Hose really mean?

Sure thing! So, a "hose" is like a really long, flexible tube that water or other things can flow through. You know, like a garden hose you use to water your plants! It's sort of like a pipe, except it's not as stiff and can bend more easily. So, imagine it's like a giant straw but for water instead of juice!

But it's not just for watering plants. There are also hoses that firefighters use to spray water on fires, and hoses that are used to clean things like driveways and cars. So, it's kind of like a tool that helps you move water or other liquids from one place to another.

Also, "hose" can mean something else, like when you say someone got "hosed," it means they got treated unfairly or got a bad deal. It's not always used in a literal sense, sometimes it's more of a slang term. So, it's like saying someone got the short end of the stick or got cheated in some way.

I hope that helps you understand what "hose" means! Let me know if you have any other questions.
