hosemonkey

"A term of endearment which refers to fire fighters. Usually used by police officers or other emergency service officials." From Urban Dictionary apparently; also used as a user name by some Internet people (firefighters?). Equinox ◑ 19:09, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

It's a word, and easily found under its alternate forms: hose monkey and hose-monkey. I added a cite for the firefighter sense, although I suspect it may mean other things as well? Leasnam 19:19, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to take the rare step of letting this stay without citations, because it's clear there are citations on Usenet. I have tagged it "rare", though, until someone bothers to actually cite it and prove otherwise. - -sche (discuss) 22:10, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
