Indoor Cornhole / Cornhole Interior

La versión español está después de la versión inglés.

HOW MANY OF you knew that “Cornhole” was a completely innocent game played on the farm or in the backyard?

— Players toss a bean bag (traditionally a bag of corn) at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. Three points if you get the bag in the hole.

How many of you think of something entirely different when you hear the word “cornhole”?

— Slang for an anus or anal sex.

San Geraldo and I were in the second group. So we were stunned to see a box that said “Indoor Cornhole” in the game corner of Pedro and Kathleen’s house.

The game was a gift from Pedro’s mother-in-law, Rebecca (Kathleen’s mother). I emailed Rebecca and, unlike her daughter and son-in-law, she was aware of the double meaning.

¿CUÁNTOS DE VOSOTROS sabíais que “Cornhole” era un juego completamente inocente jugado en la granja o en el patio trasero?

— Los jugadores tiran una bolsa de de maíz en una plataforma elevada con un agujero en el otro extremo. Tres puntos si obtienes la bolsa en el hoyo.

¿Cuántos de vosotros pensais en algo completamente diferente cuando escuchan la palabra “cornhole”?

— Jerga Americana para un ano o sexo anal.

San Geraldo y yo estábamos en el segundo grupo. Así que nos sorprendió ver una caja que decía “Cornhole interior” en la esquina del juego de la casa de Pedro y Kathleen.

El juego fue un regalo de la suegra de Pedro (la madre de Kathleen). Le envié un correo electrónico y, a diferencia de su hija y su yerno, ella era consciente del doble sentido.

LOOK WHAT CORNHOLING IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR!!!
¡¡¡MIRA PARA QUÉ ESTÁ DISEÑADO ESPECIALMENTE CORNHOLING!!!
PEDRO PLAYING. HE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE THE FARMER ON THE BOX.
PEDRO JUGANDO. SE PARECE TANTO COMO EL GRANJERO EN LA CAJA.

  1. Oh yes, def aware of the double meaning. At a church campout last summer a family brought such a game and you could tell who knew the double meaning by our smirking snickering. A younger married couple , Henry & John, laughed themselves silly. I was trying to keep a straight face and one or the other of them would give me a look and we were off again.

  2. Susan:
    I have seen versions of this game multiple times since this blog post. Kathleen’s mother Rebecca died suddenly this past year. We had become good friends. The last email we exchanged was the one about cornholing!

Please share your thoughts...
