Who could resist a corny joke or two once in a while? Not us, for sure, because we do love some lame jokes that make you laugh purely because of their silliness and obviousness. Similar, probably, only to dad jokes , but let’s stick to ‘corny’ here.
So, while you might know what a corny joke is, do you know how the term ‘corny’ came to be? As with anything, there are quite a few theories here. For instance, there’s one that relates to folk from the US rural areas, known to city folk as the corn-fed contingent.
And everything unsophisticated and funny only to farmers was called ‘corny,’ hence the corn-fed part. Another theory (it’s a good one) also stems from the rural parts of the US.
Here, the theory states that farmers used to get a seed catalog ‘enriched’ by some heavy-handed, totally obvious, and absolutely bad jokes . And since they were published in a seed magazine, ‘corny’ just stuck!
