Your Definition
A miner who works in the limestone quarries of southern Indiana. This is especially used by college students at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, to reference the "local people" (whether or not they actually work in the quarries) to differentiate them from the college student population. They are also called "cutters" (for limestone cutters). Use of this term can be heard in John Mellencamp's song "I Need a Lover".
