One of the most famous Hoosier's was the now retired Indiana University Basketball Coach, Bobby Knight. Hoosier is the nickname for the school. But it also refers to people who live in Indiana, the state. You could Google it, but you'll get multiple answers.
Bonnie, our crazy Canadian receptionist, that's what it says on her business cards), sent me Jeff Foxworthy's list, and I found 13 of them apply to me although some of them occurred when I lived in Michigan:
Forget Rednecks, here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about
Hoosiers...
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you
may live in
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't
work there, you may live in
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who
dialed a wrong number, you may live in
If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of
you may live in
If you measure distance in hours, you may live in
If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you
may live in
If you have switched from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back
again, you may live in
If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging
blizzard without flinching, you may live in
If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave
both unlocked, you may live in
If you carry jumpers in your car and your wife
knows how to use them, you may live in
If you design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit,
you may live in
If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and
everybody is passing you, you may live in
If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled
with snow, you may live in
If you know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and
road construction, you may live in
If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you may
live in
If you find 10 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in
Sounds like the Hoosiers are very nice people
