I like the hose and I also “got” your title, quite clever.

You’re a little young for this reference but there was a very funny episode of All in the Family where Archie and Meat Head argued about putting on socks and shoes either sock, sock, shoe, shoe…or sock shoe, sock, shoe.

So is it hos*, hos, brogue, brogue…or hos, brogue, hos, brogue.

*Not sure about the singular of hose.
