best of the alternate names for the US bar/party game CORNHOLE

bag hole

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

when will this game be in the olympics?

And who came up with dadhole? Was it this guy again?

Paul Auster

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

"Chuck-o" the obvious winner here right?

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

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

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

fuckwit hole

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

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

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.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

BORRRINNNNGGGG

Dad hole

yeah, we need a tie-breaker

she's got her toe in the bean bag toss
bleeding out in a snow cone

doesn't have the same ring to it
