    Not on the quiz of course, but one major difference between MO and IN is that “Hoosier” is a positive term in IN but a pejorative term in MO.

    Once upon a time a bunch of people from Indiana moved to Missouri, and apparently they were not well liked. So hoosier is like the MO equivalent of calling someone a redneck
