Newcomers to the popular game of Cornhole (also known as Bags, Baggo, and Corn Toss) are bound to hear some odd terminology from those 'old hands' who have been tossing corn bags by the hundreds and thousands.

If shuckers, gushers and cow pies leave you in utter cornfusion, read on to learn some of the common Cornhole game definitions.

Remember that each player has 4 cornhole bags to try to toss into the Cornhole. There are some tricks and strategies that can help yourself or hinder your opponent, such as creating a Berlin Wall or Shucking the other team.

Air Mail - This is a bag that lands directly in the cornhole and never touches the board. (Also known as a Swish)

Ace - A one-point score for a bag landing somewhere on the board (Also known as a Cow Pie)

Back Door - The art of making a Cornhole by tossing your bag over a Blocker.

Berlin Wall - A defense set up by tossing a couple of your bags in front of the cornhole, thus blocking your opponent from making a slider. (Also known as a Blocker if just one bag is blocking the cornhole.)

Cornfusion - When teams don't agree on the scoring for a round. This might require the Police (cornhole police, that is).

Cornhole - A bag that makes it into the hole by any legal means. Worth 3 points compared to the one point of an Ace.

Corn Patty - Tossing a bag so weakly that it lands in front of the board. (Some regions may call this a Short Bag.)

Dirty Bag - A bag that lands on the ground or hangs off the board, touching the ground.

Four-Bagger - Landing your four bags in the hole unaided from either your opponent's bags or your own.

Gusher - When a player makes four cornholes in one round. (Can also be referred to as a Double Deuce)

Hanger - This one peeks over the edge of the cornhole, but doesn't fall in.

Hooker - Hooking or curving a bag around your opponent's Blocker, resulting in a cornhole for you.

Jumper - Similar to a Hooker, but occurs when your bag hits another with enough force to 'jump' over it, landing in the cornhole.

Police - The Cornhole referee. Might be called in to break up Cornfusion.

Shucker - Tossing your bag so that it knocks any of your opponent's bags off the board.

Slider - Tossing your bag so that it slides along the board and into the cornhole.

This is not an all inclusive list by any means. Different regions will use some different terms. People that play regularly will probably create more of their own terminology, too. No matter what you call Blockers, Swishers and Hooker, keep practicing them so you score more Cornholes.
