My wife calls it 'bags'. Hung my head low the day I found out.

I was 35 before I heard it called anything but bags. I only found out it’s called cornhole (because I guess the bags used to be filled with corn?) because I was at a bar, and it was on. On ESPN. That’s also the day I learned ESPN will show just about anything that can be classified as a sport or game when there aren’t major sports events going on.

I laughed for a solid several minutes about it. (Thankfully I was not by myself or I’d have looked like a nutter)
