Hoosier for "fire tower", this is a very tall steel structure in the forest. The "ire" is difficult for Hoosiers (people from Indiana) to pronounce as has long been speculated to be a result of inbreeding. The inability lies in the vowel followed by an "r". Similarly, the Hoosier will pronounce the word oil as "oral" and washing machine as "warshing machine".
