She is executing what is called a “Windmill Throw”.

Bravo, young lady! Bravo!

I want them to change the name.

You know I now know how US Army Private Adolph Hitler in WWII felt. Heck no! Let the other guy change HIS.

That name has been in use for the favorite Olympic sport of rump rangers since my grandfather’s day at least. I haven’t heard it used to as a name for a beanbag game until this year. If they’re organized enough to make a sport of it, perhaps they should work out a better title first.

Exactly!

Can't be gay anymore, can't wear a rainbow shirt, can't ask for a tea bag..... Pfoohy.

My language, my shirt, my beverage choice, my game.... let them come up with their own names!

As many on this thread have pointed out, the name has to change.

As for adding "bean bag" to the Olympics, why not also add darts (American and British), horseshoes, and tabletop shuffleboard? They can be held in both the summer and winter Olympics, there are already a lot of competitors, and there are plenty of viewers. Also, the beer and liquor companies would fight each other to sponsor the Olympics with those events. The at-home drinking games would be legendary.

I was hoping for Sasuke/Kunoichi (Ninja Warrior), especially with the Olympics being in Tokyo.

Cornhole (sometimes corn hole) is a sexual slang vulgarism for anus. The term came into use in the 1910s in the United States. Its verb form to cornhole, which came into usage in the 1930s, means to have anal sex.

Hahahaha...my first thought when I read that title was “Only if they will be allowed to have a beer in one hand when competing!”

You throw a bag filled with corn through a hole.

What else could it be called?

Cricket?

I would think “Cornhole” as a term for the game predates the unpleasant meaning many get from the name today. But I could be wrong-

It’s fine as a pastime, just not an olympic sport. I feel the same way about golf, curling, and dressage. I also believe that by my rules, pole dancing should at least be considered as an olympic sport.

It really needs some improvement. I visualize a Messkin commentator screeching “Gooooooooooooooooal!!!” after every successful throw.

We call it bean bag toss. I have a set for playing. Corn hole must be an Indiana thing.

I suppose you have some kind of dirty behavior associated with other sports.

What does “checkers” mean to you?
