A St. Louis, MO term.
Refers to anyone of limited education and social skills. Often lower-class or working-class people who drive pickup trucks and beat-up American cars more than 10 years old. Often spotted by their mullets, overalls, carhardts, Calvin & Hobbes pissing stickers, or t-shirts covered in eagles, guns, American flags, Confederate flags or any combination of the aforementioned items. They can also be identified by their atrocious pronounciation of commonly known foreign words (especially French) and their complete lack of knowledge in the areas of English grammar and world history. See also: Republican.

I got cut off on Highway 40 this morning by some fucking Hoosier driving a Hemi covered in American flags and "W" 2004 stickers.

I had to steam clean my couch after your cousin spent the night. What a Hoosier, does he ever shower?

A native of Indiana that would otherwise be described as a hick. Tends to be very provincial, viewing Indiana as the center of the universe, while reflecting the interests, habits, and dialect of working class people of the state. Politically conservative.
Jim Bob, from Seymour Indiana, is a proud Hoosier who drives a pickup truck with an American Flag waving from it, loves auto racing and basketball, wears a mullet, uses words such as "aint" or "y'all", and considers people from a large city such as New York or Chicago as being weird, un-American big city slickers.

Is anyone who is less sophisticated than you.
Origin. Dates back to the 1860's when Pro-South Baptist Indianans moved to St. Louis County and fought Abolitionist German Catholics in a number of battles during the Civil War. Most of the City was Pro-Union and refered to Southern sympathizing County residents as Hoosiers.
Non St. Louis examples are found in the David Mamet penned remake of "We're no Angels" starring Sean Penn and Robt. DeNiro. Penn's Character says... "I look like a Hoosier or something." Also in Joseph Pistones Autobiographical "Donnie Brasco," Sonny Black uses Hoosier as an epithet.

For example if I were an eighth grade graduate then I would think that all those who dropped out in seventh grade were Hoosiers. If I wore a mullet all those with rat tails would be Hoosiers.
Also used in the common quip... "Hoosier daddy," as a joke on someones questionable paternity.
I have a masters degree and live in Portland, OR. To me those folks who live in West County, Clayton, U-City and Ladue that only have Bachelors degrees are Hoosiers
