Hose pipe!

We don’t even say “hose pipe” in regular accents (being Midwesterners): we just say “hose,” or “garden hose,” to distinguish it from hoses in the car engine, laundry room, etc.

Bingo. Had a college roommate from Old Fort, and the first time he said that, I had no idea what he meant. I was born and raised in NC, have lived here most of my life, and had never heard it before.
