ah, so that's where you get it from: The term "hooplehead" is used in the HBO series Deadwood. It's a derogatory insult popularized by the character Al Swearengen, played by Ian McShane2. The term refers to someone who is foolish, ignorant, or worthless. It's not a compliment, and it's used to dismiss or insult people Swearengen doesn't respect.

SURE! Besides the previously mentioned references, here are a few other instances where the term "hoople" or related names appear:

Comic Strip "Our Boarding House": Major Hoople was a prominent character in this 1920s comic strip by Gene Ahern. Major Hoople was known for his tall tales and get-rich-quick schemes.

Song: The band Mott the Hoople, inspired by Willard Manus's 1966 novel "Mott the Hoople," a story about an eccentric writer and his adventures.

HBO's "Deadwood": The term "hooplehead" is frequently used as a derogatory term in the show, referring to someone perceived as foolish or ignorant.
