“The OFFICIAL name for citizens of the state of Indiana is the HOOSIERS. The name Hoosiers derives from the nickname officially adopted by the State of Indiana over 150 years ago when a group of state representatives chose to henceforth be known as the “Hoosier State.” While the exact origin of the now well-known term is not precisely known it is believed that the word has been around since at least 1830.”

YOU: No it ain’t.
ME: Yes it is.

Does that just about cover it?
