A question I wondered about is ... how do you pronounce it?

btw, nice to meet a Hoosier

Didn't they also sell women's legwear and the shop is actually called "Hoosier Mama's Hosiery"

"Hoosier Mama's Wholesale Hosier Supplier for Hoes"

They hosted a Christmas celebration in 1987 they called ....

“Hoosier Mama’s Wholesale Hosier Supplier for Hoes Holiday Hoedown for Whores"
