hosing
Rinsing with stream
Hosing is spraying with a hose, typically to clean or cool something: He gave the car a hosing before the wax.
In slang, hosing means cheating or defeating badly: We took a hosing on that deal.
The word appears in combinations like hosing down for thorough spraying and hosing off for rinsing away dirt.
