On More Hoosierisms...

  • You think nothing of it when you wake up and it's 40 and raining, at lunch break it's 20 and dry, when you go home it's 55 and sunny and at night it snows.
  • You have memorized all the cops in your town, their schedules and which ones to avoid like the plague.
  • After prom was just a party at your high school put on by a bunch of moms and school counselors; and it was amazing.
  • You think Brownsburg is the ghetto.
  • You have had at least one power outage at school/home/church because an animal crawled into the generator at the plant.
  • You know "hick" is someone from Kentucky or Tennessee, which is also the only definition for "down south".
  • You think fancy is a pair of slacks, a nice shirt and actually doing up your hair. You might even go get it cut and have your nails done but that's strechin' it.
  • You know that there's really more than corn in Indiana; there's soybeans. Other than that, nothin'.
  • You think that the invisible wall between the smoking and non-smoking sections in a restaurant/bar really works.
  • Everyone knows when all the HS sport events are, but when is the election again?
  • The question "IU or Purdue" can spark lethal arguments.
  • You know what 4-H is, know someone who's shown every year and think it's a huge deal even if you don't go.
  • Highway= Indy500 practice track.
  • You see high school kids hanging out at the local hardware store, drug store or retention pond.
  • You think working as a receptionist at the local nursing home or a sales rep at one of the few local stores is a posh job.
