General Hoosier-land

Hoosier is another name for residents of Indiana. The history of the name is ambiguous, but my favorite version comes from the pioneers.
In those days, they had no windows in the log cabins, so when someone knocked on the door, they had to call out to ask who was at the door. As the dialect matured, it became:
Who is there?
Who's there?
whosthere?
whoshere?
hoosier?
