“Just sayin’ but I had never heard this game referred to as cornhole until this July 4th at a party I attended.
Now just 4 days later I hear it for only the second time.”
That word used to mean something completely different. The current usage defines a game for those too irresponsible for horse shoes or lawn darts.
Rather rude term for such a tame game.
And yes, it is lawn darts for the short bus set.
I thought it's what happened when you bent over to retrieve the beanbag. Include me out. Rather take my chances as a lawn dart catcher.
throw corn cobs you are playing cornhole.
if you throw bean bags you are playing beanbag.
this is name appropriation. no corn involved
“That word used to mean something completely different.”
It still does.
