Hoosier
A Hoosier is a native of the U.S. state of Indiana. Though other states adapt the state name into a nickname, the words Indianan or Indianian, as either nouns or adjectives, are rarely, if ever, used by an actual native of Indiana. Indiana adopted the nickname over 150 years ago. "Hoosiers" is also the nickname for Indiana University athletic teams and the title of an award-winning 1986 movie starring Gene Hackman, about the Milan high school basketball team and its road to winning the state championship. The word Hoosier is sometimes used in the names of Indiana-based businesses. In other parts of the country, the word has been adapted for other uses (see Other uses).
