Hoosier Daddy

A phrase that echoes across college football after Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers decided losing was for other people. It’s what you yell after IU cooks your team, eats your rankings for breakfast, and leaves your mascot crying in the tunnel.

Origin:
Born in Bloomington, forged in blood, sweat, and barbecue sauce from the Buckeyes tears. "Google Me". Legend says the phrase first appeared after IU took down Alabama so hard that Nick Saban’s retirement speech wrote itself.

Translation:

A verbal touchdown dance meaning “IU owns college football, deal with it.”

- When IU drops another 50‑burger: “Hoosier Daddy now?”
- When Cignetti turns a football game into a history lesson: “Hoosier Daddy, son?”
- When you realize the Ducks got smoked and the Buckeyes got cooked: “Hoosier Daddy... EVERYONE IS.”

Hoosier Hook

The act of cutting across three or more lanes on the highway in the interest of not missing your exit. Predominantly seen in Indianapolis, although it can be seen elsewhere.
I just about ran by my exit off I-465, almost killed myself hitting a Hoosier Hook.

Hoosiers

Hoosiers are wannabe rednecks that aren't southern enough to be rednecks, so they drive around in trucks layered in mud and alcohol. Thy can be found driving around recklessly throughout the midwest throwing budweiser everywhere and firing shotgun shells in random directions.
They plague Midwestern cities, most notably kansas city, Chicago, and especially St. Louis. They can be seen fighting hoodlums in Eastside St louis. All. Fucking. Day.
I just witnessed yet another fight between hoosiers and hoodlums

Hoosier Rain Shower

A group activity where three to five men simultaneously give a golden shower to a willing participant in the disorienting twists of a corn maze, often associated with rural Indiana shenanigans.
Last fall, they got wild at the county fair and pulled off a Hoosier Rain Shower in the corn maze—talk about a soggy harvest!

Hoosier Switcheroo

(1) A sudden and confusing bait-and-switch, especially in personal or professional relationships, where someone acts warm, supportive, or friendly—then out of nowhere flips and treats you like the villain. Most often associated with Midwestern passive aggression, particularly Indiana.

(2) That moment when you realize someone’s been harboring secret resentment, and instead of communicating it like an adult, they pull a 180 and make you out to be the problem.
“She said she wanted to marry me and have my kids, then she blocked me out of nowhere. Total Hoosier switcheroo.”
