When you watched Petticaot Junction, decades ago, did you understand the meaning of "Hooterville?"

No, but I somehow understood the part about the curves.

Fictitious Hooterville was named after the fictitious Horace Hooter and apparently was meant to approximate what was then a still-familiar term "hooverville", the name given to any one of many homeless shantytowns during the great depression. Personally I was still a kid at the time of those shows so I cannot tell you if, back then, hooter (or hooters) was yet in common use as a term describing a feature of female anatomy. I have vague recollection from the Green Acres episodes that Hooterville was in Indiana, though among the shows that referenced such a place its actual location was somewhat vague. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooterville

Nope. Never thought about it until I read your question.
