[brokeu91]

Are you about to come in here and tell me there isn’t a thriving hoosier population in South County? I ain’t buying it

I'm not saying there's not Hoosiers in South County but we city folk have you beat

 

[Mike Liut]

Patty seemed very adamant about SoCo there. Idk it's not that great here man lmao maybe just in comparison to Eureka.

Eureka has really improved over the years. It’s almost an extension of Wildwood now.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

once a south county hoosier, always a south county hoosier

Better than the West County snobs

 

[JoshFromMO]

I knew you STL folk didn't even like STL folk

Yeah it's normally based off of what high school you went to and or what area you live in. Always fun to take shots at each other via stereotypes. Now back to my hoosier things with my hoosier friends in my hoosier area.

 

[bleedblue1223]

North County will just shoot you in the face, so we win.

I also go the hell out of there when I could.

There is a solid split. I was born in city, lived in a very nice home in county since age 5. There are 2 million dollar homes all around me here.

I have met plenty of hoosiers who live in expensive houses. Hoosier is a state of mind.

[STL fan in MN]

Lol!

I feel the same way. I grew up in the metro east and now live in Iowa. I’ve never understood the HS thing either.

I only drove over the bridge to MO for Blues games, going to the various community rinks for my away games or concerts.

If that isn't the realist shit spit on the internet.

I’m escaping NoCo next week to the safety of the city. Wait...that doesn’t do me any good.

Lol, it's actually probably true.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Lol, it's actually probably true.

Definitely depends on which part of the city you’re moving into.

 

[WeWentBlues]

Definitely depends on which part of the city you’re moving into.

And which part of North County you are moving from...

There are parts of North County that are bad. Most of it is a fine place to live.

 

[Robb_K]

I thought Hoosiers were only from Indiana! Maybe you guys are Hosers?

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Eureka has really improved over the years. It’s almost an extension of Wildwood now.

Especially when the rain comes and they both flood

Born and raised in Florissant.

Fun fact. Hoosier is only a derogatory term in St. Louis. I originally heard it was people from Indiana coming to St. Louis in the 30s to cross a picket line from striking union members so obviously that didn't sit well. The other story I heard is a lot of people from Indiana moved to Fenton (suburb of STL) to work at the Chrysler plant when it opened up and they were dirty enough that the word hoosier became an insult haha

Maroon is OUR hoosier. Glad we got that settled.

A lot of those are just generic redneck. Maybe I'm ambitious, but I like to think hoosier is something that can apply to a wider range of people. You can be a non-hoosier country-music-lovin', tank-top-wearin', car fanatic. But you can check none of those boxes and you're a hell of a hoosier if you don't mow your lawn, get drunk at sporting events and shout obscenities, and burn trash in your back yard.

You are a leading expert in this field I can tell. It is true that hoosier != redneck, which I often see stated. Hoosier is probably closer to white trash, though not exactly the same either, like if white trash had their life halfway together. It's one of those things where you know it when you see it
