What is the etymology of "cornhole"? - slang
Corn became associated with the rectum due to the fact that corn is not easily digestible, and consequently shows up regularly in the stool. The hole whence such undigested corn emanates thus became known as the cornhole, and the verb to cornhole referring to anal sex was a natural extension.
