I was reading the latest thread about about Pineapple on Pizza, which included some comments about sweet corn on pizza. @MrDibble [commented that in his country](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-the-vehement-opposition-to-pineapple-on-pizza/933875/132) “sweetcorn” usually meant canned creamed corn, and the non-creamed variety was called “kernel corn.”

Oh. Well that explains that officer’s name in **Catch-22**. (I’ve still no idea if there’s a deeper meaning to “Colonel Cathcart”.)
