I haven’t heard hoser used outside of media (I think Wayne’s World? Or some Mike Meyers SNL character?).
Soaker is the standard way to refer to water soaking through your shoe/boot though (which is the specific thing it refers to, you don’t get soakers while wearing good boots).
What about deke? That one took me a moment because I’d never seen it written out before, but what do you call it when someone gets passed a defensive player using fancy ball/puck handling? I think it would apply to hockey, basketball, or soccer?
