I seem to remember a Hoosier story relating to river bargemen. As I recall, Hoosier was a corruption of Who's there?, a kind of American waterways Ahoy!
Sounds like speculation, but the story has stuck in my head for years.
By the way, I assume Hoosier, the nickname, predates Hoosier, the kitchen cabinet. That would be too easy.
