hosed

hosed adj.  Same as {down}.  Used primarily by UNIX
   hackers.  Humorous: also implies a condition thought to be
   relatively easy to reverse.  Probably derived from the Canadian
   slang `hoser' popularized by the Bob and Doug Mackenzie skits on
   SCTV, but this usage predated SCTV by years in hackerdom (it was
   certainly already live at CMU in the 1970s).  See {hose}.  It is
   also widely used of people in the mainstream sense of `in an
   extremely unfortunate situation'.

   Once upon a time, a Cray that had been experiencing periodic
   difficulties crashed, and it was announced to have been hosed.
   It was discovered that the crash was due to the disconnection of
   some coolant hoses.  The problem was corrected, and users were then
   assured that everything was OK because the system had been rehosed.
   See also {dehose}.
