[Middle English, a stocking, from Old English hosa, leg covering.]

1. vt. [common] To make non-functional or greatly degraded in performance. “That big ray-tracing program really hoses the system.” See hosed.

2. n. A narrow channel through which data flows under pressure. Generally denotes data paths that represent performance bottlenecks.

3. n. Cabling, especially thick Ethernet cable. This is sometimes called bit hose or hosery (play on ‘hosiery’) or ‘etherhose’. See also washing machine.

A hose is an obvious phallic symbol. Hoses are also used for washing and for watering (i.e., nurturing something that is growing), and a dream about hoses can reflect either meaning. Also note the slang meaning of hosed-namely, being cheated.
