Looking up ‘cornhobbling’ in the Gee-I-Didn’t-Know search, they give a little question: ‘Did you mean: cornholing?’ No! And I especially don’t want to do both, either at once or even subsequently with the same fish!
True story: I had yet to put on my cheaters when I first looked and I thought the definition said, “ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛ ᴏғ sʟᴀᴘᴘɪɴɢ sᴏᴍᴇᴏɴᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ғᴀᴄᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀ ғɪsʜ” and I thought, “WOW! That’s some slap!” and then I put on my glasses and suddenly it all made sense.
Looks like he expected a definition, but got a demonstration. So, if you live in Missouri, best to look it up yourself. You never know what you’ll be “shown”.
Here in Florida, we play cornhole at outdoor parties. It has to do with throwing sandbags into holes in a wooden platform to score points. Like shuffleboard but without the shuffle. If you go up north and say you’d like to play cornhole…well, you could be excoriated (whatever that means). Whatever, don’t suggest playing that game if you’re currently in a prison.
I’ve been cornhobbled a few times by my girlfriend with something that smelled fishy, but it wasn’t fish. I slapped her back with something that wasn’t a donkey.
I have a number of friends from Missouri (or had, in the case of some who are deceased), and have visited there for professional reasons several times. I have never been cornhobbled, nor even seen anyone armed with a fish. I did once get brushed off by a fair maiden of my acquaintance there, however….

Not in the OED, but a great word just the same. Many people in government deserve to be cornhobbled.

If you asked a certain exotic dancer to show you that definition you may not make it out alive.
