dadhole?

dummy boards seems the most obvious, since that’s usually what I think of the people playing it.

Bags is the one I have heard the most

it's the Chicago regionalism right?

(honestly that's probably my vote!)

Never a fan of 'cornhole' but 'Dadhole' is really, really awful to say

stuff the hole with some beans

aren't 'ramps' some kind of wild onion? Seems like NPR does a story every year about the ramps harvest

i knew it as beanbag toss, which is boring but accurate.

i like doghouse

The Tejo variant sounds fun. It adds explosives and alcohol.

No one who says “dadhole” means this game

assbag

parlor quoits is my fave because it makes it sound sophisticated and erudite

― Kate (rushomancy), Thursday, 17 October 2024 17:36 (one year ago)

when will this game be in the olympics?

Never heard it referred to anything other than "bean bag toss" until very recently.

― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Thursday, 17 October 2024 18:19 (one year ago)

"Chuck-o" the obvious winner here right?

I swear I've heard people say "lawn toss" before... that one sucks.

It's been a weird week for coming across weirdly-named games.

such a stupid wasp-y fucking game for assholes with names like Bunny & Mimsy

i had so much hatred for dorks who set this up at raider tailgates. just sit the fuck down & get drunk like a normal tailgater, weirdos

― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 23 October 2024 04:32 (one year ago)

in the suburban midwest this is 100% played by people in relatively inexpensive suburbs who tailgate at college sports events. large percentage of the little ramp target in team colors

Baggo ftw

― The count has shot himself (Tom D.), Wednesday, 23 October 2024 14:17 (one year ago)

In the South it's both the tailgating rabble and the blue-blooded WASPs who learned to play on the lawns of their frat houses.
