I hear that a set (or two) has been ordered.
I think maybe that means something else in the south.
When getting cornholed in a parking lot up north you are often referred to as "the victim".
I can't figure out who ever thought that was a good name...
It sounds especially alarming when they play it at church functions.
There used to be a joke going around in the early 60s about the origin of the term. Not suitable for this forum though.
Knew it all my life as Baggo (Bag-o), never heard it called Cornhole until I moved to Yankeeville. Some Ohio natives asked if I wanted to play Cornhole my reaction was pretty much an instant NO.

It's Baggo here in Michigan, too. Cornhole seems to be an Ohio-Indiana thing, from what I can tell.
Cornholing is definitely a mid-western name for tossing bean bags into a hole. There are actual people who play it and talk about it and are seemingly totally and completely unaware of any other meaning of the word. I think they were people that were too old to have ever watched Beavis and Butthead.
The wife now calls it "corn toss" after our neighbor ridiculed her for Cornhole. I still call it corn hole just as a reminder for him to make fun of her. I think she gets the joke.
