there are basically two categories of hoosier:
A. hoosier by birth
B. hoosier by lifestyle

a hoosier by birth really has no choice but to be a hoosier. They come from a long line of hoosiers, described by St. Louisian Glenn Savan in his book White Palace as "decendants of transplanted Ozark farmers.' Usually overweight, trailor inhabiting, junk food eating, quasi-inbred folks whose idea of luxury is shopping at Wal-Mart and when in the mood for gourmet dining, go to Ponderosa.

A ghoosier does not have to be born as such, and usually starts out as one or the other. The pressing influence of confined cultures, however, eventually cause a slow, subtle conversion that the individual may not themselves be aware of.

Caution should be exercised at all times when informing said person of their converted status, as it often leads to a flurry of violence, mispronounced swearing, and threats quoted from bad rap/rock songs that they will try to pass off as their own.

Someone that is not current in social circumstances or attire. This person is in the middle between farm raised and white trash (WT). This person is friendly and would not try and hurt others, unlike WT.
