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

'Who-see-er'
'Who-shur'

or some other way I don't know about?

btw, nice to meet a Hoosier

the second one

there's a pie shop near me called "Hoosier Mama"

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

I'm remembering wrong, they were a major supplier for the escort fashion industry based in Indiana ....

"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"

Who shur is closer. Though some pronounce it more with a z sound instead of an s.

More like a French "j," as is "joie de vivre"

Yeah that's more accurate
