hoss
Sturdy guy, informally
Hoss is informal or dialectal for horse, most common in Southern American English.
It extends to mean a large, strong person—someone built like a workhorse: That linebacker is a real hoss.
The term carries affection or admiration, suggesting physical power and reliability rather than grace or finesse.
