hoopie/hoopy 

Southern, or at least Okie-speak meaning an older or at least "rundown" car. My Dad used it all the time.
Well if this old hoopie/hoopy lasts another couple of months I'm gonna trade it off.

hootie and the blowfish

Band from the mid-nineties that signaled the beginning of the end for alternative music.
Have you heard the new hootie and the blowfish album? Wow! They really suck!
A redneck. A rural, often white-trash, uncouth individual.
Jimmy rode around in his confederate flag draped pickup truck like a real hoopie.
