(n) A person who has a very low standard of living, gives absolutely 0 fucks about anything. Hoopies are often immune to illness and disease despite their inability to properly
shower and brush their teeth. Although hoopies tend to be on the more unattractive side, they have a rather high level of self confidence, take
pride in some sort of trade (that they are usually exceptional in), are usually above willing to help someone in need, and are uncomfortably comfortable around strangers... as in they say what they think and often times leave the
house wearing stained or tattered clothing. Some women will often reject wearing a
bra. Although this is not always the case, most hoopies lack strong ethnic traits and often have lightly colored hair and eyes.
“This hoopie guy said he would change my breaks for just the cost of parts”
“
Hannah’s mom is a real big hoopie, we’re talking flannels, drinks
beer, farts in public, and she makes these really
good pizza things on the campfire that wrapped up in foil.”
