A Hoosier /ˈhu.ʒɚ/is a native of the U.S. state of Indiana. Though other states adapt the state name into a nickname, the word Indianan, as either noun or adjective, is rarely used by an actual native of Indiana. In other areas of the country, such as St. Louis, the word is used in a derogatory fashion in similar context to "white trash". Derived from common usage, "Hoosiers" is the nickname for Indiana University athletic teams, and the title of an award-winning 1986 movie starring Gene Hackman, about two Indiana high school basket ball teams, Muncie Central, and Milan High School.
