what did you say about Hoosiers?
I'm told that people who live in Missouri define "Hoosier" (the nickname of Indiana residents) as anything that is "hick" "hillbilly" "redneck" etc. Things that might invoke the "that's so hoosier" epithaph might be:
a bearded grandma spitting tobacco into a spitoon,
6 "parts" cars stored in the weeds in a front yard,
12 dogs living under the front porch
a couch and wringer washing machine in permanent residence on the front porch
The implication is that people living in Missouri are so cultured, refined and sophisticated that "hoosiers" are somehow beneath them.
So what would you call a Missouri license plate tied onto a motorcycle with string?

well, there are plenty of "hoosiers" that live in Missouri. That's why they use that name so much and don't associate it with IN residents.
It is called I will do this now and worry about it later.
The funny thing is if you ask people from IN if they are "hoosier" they are proud of their "hoosierness"
I was going to type something really intelligent... then I realized I couldn't spell it.
