Cornhole is an outdoor game where players take turns throwing bean bags at a raised platform with a hole in it. The goal is to either land the bag in the hole or get it to rest on the platform. Each bag that goes through the hole earns three points, while a bag resting on the platform scores one point. The game is typically played between two teams, with each team having four bags. The first team to reach 21 points wins the game. Cornhole is popular at picnics and barbecues offering a fun and competitive experience.

Cornhole first existed as a rough noun for the anus, built the same way lots of blunt English slang is: a plain object + "hole." The term shows up in American slang by the early–mid 1900s, especially in rural and working-class speech. From there, turning it into a verb was predictable. To cornhole formed by treating that body part as the sexual target, which is why it came to mean anal sex. That verb meaning is attested by the 1940s–1950s. It never became neutral because it developed in insult-heavy contexts rather than sexual ones. For decades it was used mainly in threats, prison talk, and joking aggression between men, not mutual or consensual sex. Because of that history, it still carries a taunting, humiliating tone and is usually heard as hostile unless everyone involved is clearly joking or reclaiming it.
