Hoosier

St. Louis Meaning: white trash of the worst kind. Also used as an adjective to describe anything several notches below your own perceived sophistication. Dates back to a strike that occurred in St. Louis in the 30's. During this strike, scab workers from Indiana were brought in to fill in for strikers. The perjorative hoosier stems from the St. Louis workers' lack of appreciation for this.

Adjective:
Edna: Did you see how she was dressed?

Hoosier

A name given to people from Indiana. The people of Indiana are proud to bare the name, and it is a misconception that it is derogatory for a red-neck farmer. There are a lot of myths about the origin of the name, but the truth is that nobody really knows where it came from (your guess is as good as anyone elses). Also the mascot of Indiana University.

Hoosier Stand Off

When two or more drivers come to a 3-way or 4-way stop and can't decide who should proceed first, so they sit there and stare or wave at eachother to go, wasting a lot of time. The proper way to yield to other vehicles at 3 or 4 way stop signs is spelled out in Indiana law, but apparently everyone is too stupid/high on meth to understand.
