Seems to me Scott has lost a lot of friends since he started his strip up again. For the past three months he is talking with this guy or his wife. While I like the guy personally, and happy he lost some weight, a different friend once in a while would be a nice change of pace.
I did the search and, as usual with questions about origins of things, found the usual collection of fantasies offered without citation. And those that explain the origin of the game donāt address the source of the name in any credible way. The game, essentially throwing something at a mark, is undoubtedly very old, being a pretty obvious sort of simpleminded passtime. It didnāt require a cabinetmaker to āinventā the game of throwing at a hole.
But as to the name, it seems pretty obvious how the old game picked up an association with the sexual meaning, although there are many potential paths, none of which are documented.

ā¦which is exactly the reason why āUS Lawn Darts Associationā lost the big beer sponsorship and painfully faded into oblivion

I once saw one of my coworkers play an entire game of kickball without spilling a drop of his gin and tonic.

If Scott keeps this up, he is going to lose a lot more friends.

I am not seeing the problem here.

I just want to know who named this game, and how much they were smirking when they declared it to be the name.

Your curiosity can be partially satisfied by googling ācornhole name originā.

The popularity of sports in the US does seem to correlate to how much beer you can drink and still participate (or at least spectate).

With Rick, it always seems to come back to beer. Not that thereās anything wrong with that.

Scott nailed the reasons it is so popular at picnics, backyard events and BBQs. Works safely with ā1 beer, 2 beer, 3 beer, 4.ā

Yes, the name ācornholeā was well defined with roots in Appalachia dating back to the mid 19th century.

Of course, if you take the USA out of the sausage, you get sage. Very wise, that.

Honestly, if I didnāt already know what the āCornhole Gameā was, Iād certainly would be afraid to Google it!
