Cornhole is a lawn game in which players take turns pitching cornhole bags—cotton duck bags filled with feed corn—at a raised platform with a hole in the far end. These platforms are usually made with plywood or occasionally plastic, and are often decorated. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Play continues until a player reaches the score of 21.
There's all kinds of jargon on wikipedia... "Dirty Bag" and "Back Door".  I'm not sure I want to play this game. :lmao:

A little Google-fu brings up this:

Quote
Cornhole or Corn Toss is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called cornhole platforms or boards and corn bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the corn hole boards or platforms until a contestant reaches the score of 21 points. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm not playing a game called "cornhole."

ETA: Damn, someone beat me too it.

It is a really fun game.  We play it all of the time at our family reunions.  Then again we are all 100% redneckian and don't really give a crap what the game is called.

It sounds like it is quite similar to horseshoes or that great old children's game Lawn Darts.
