I will admit, my grown children bought me the Deadwood series on Blue Ray and I watch it often. I agree with the Doc about hoopleheads referring to the Scandinavian prospectors seeking gold in the Black Hills. Whether it was used to describe these folks back east is a mystery to me, though. Was it, in fact, a slang word created in the mining camps and used almost exclusively there, like so many others?
