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

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”

Didn’t they also sell women’s legwear and the shop is actually called “Hoosier Mama’s Hosiery”
