:laugh: A Hoosier is a person who lives in or is from Indiana. No one really knows where the term originated from. There are some urban legends though. One is that after a bar fight someone looked down on the floor and asked \"Who\'s ear?\". I have also heard it may have been slang when people saw strangers...\"Who\'s there?\" No one knows though. Both sound a little far fetched.

Here is a link to a wikipedia article on hoosiers and the word meaning etc.

i lived in fort wayne for about 2 and a half years...haha, it ended up being too much corn and boonies for me, so i moved back to new jersey =D

but in all fairness, i DO miss it sometimes.

I\'m from Warsaw, which isn\'t far from Fort Wayne. I live in Lafayette now, just graduated from Purdue in May but I\'m sticking around.

I\'m currently in Champaign, so closer to the Hoosier area than my hometown.

[hookedonhogs]

Yeah, I think that\'s only a couple hours from Lafayette.

We live in Attica, Indiana. It is about 70 miles west of Indianapolis just north of I-74.

I live West of Indianapolis and was wondering if there are any other Hoosiers here!

Yes! Indiana for ever and always! No matter how bad I want to leave I will never be able to bring myself too. There's too much corn in Indiana for me to want to leave(:
