Hoosier

A Hoosier is a resident or native of the U.S. state of Indiana. The term is commonly accepted and employed at all levels of discourse by Hoosiers themselves, and is considered neither derogatory nor informal. The word Indianan, as either noun or adjective, is rarely if ever used by an actual native of Indiana. Deriving from common usage, "Hoosiers" is the team name for Indiana University athletic teams, and a movie about basketball in Indiana was also called Hoosiers.
