The Hoo-See-Ers

Before I left for Christmas, I was in the kitchen cooking at the B&B when my housemate N answered his phone and was discussing with the caller that he had picked up a CD as a gift for someone. I looked over as he was looking at the CD cover and he said, “The Hoo-see-ers”. He had purchased a CD by the band The Hoosiers, who are surprisingly English. I normally don’t interrupt someone on the phone with another but I had to stop and pronounce it correctly and explain that to most of the United States, a Hoosier is someone from Indiana, or if you live in St. Louis, it’s a redneck. Finally, I get to teach a cultural lesson. Here’s a link to one of The Hoosiers’ hits if you are curious.
