    Yeah but. I lived in Indiana for a long time and most people just say Indianan. Hoosier is more of a Midwest thing. I’m from Arkansas, and that and Florida is a little odd. It’s pronounced differently than the state is.

      I had an American history teacher in high school who was adamant we weren’t Arkansan because fuck Kansas (paraphrased). He said we were Arkansonian. It doesn’t seem to have caught on.

      Most people from where? Everyone in Indiana says Hoosier. Maybe it is a Midwest thing, but I don’t know how I’d react if someone called me an Indianan. It doesn’t even sound correct (admittedly, at least 20% of these sound really awkward).

        I’m an Indianan because I don’t want to be associated with the 5th year high school in the Southern half of our start.
