I lived in Cincinnati (Anderson Twp.) for 9 years, and I never figured out what the whole Westsider/Eastsider fuss was all about. I think this helps explain it. ---

I was wondering what the other half of the double entendre was. Where I come from we didn’t call anal sex cornhole anything. We just called it preserving your sister’s virginity. ---

> [@Kimstu](#): > > Thanks for that contribution, **Brutus**. Because goodness knows, there aren’t enough acrimonious political threads out there already. It’s lucky that you managed to provide some sorely-needed political acrimony in what otherwise would have remained an enjoyable little Pit thread about a silly game and a vulgar word. :rolleyes: Lighten up, dude. It was a good joke. ---

I moved out of Ohio five years ago without ever hearing the word “cornhole” in connection with a beanbag toss game. I went back to visit a couple of months ago and you couldn’t get people to shut up about it. Played it, too. It’s quite fun in its simplicity. ---

I’ve been living Downtown for the past couple of years, and my folks just moved to Ft. Wright. I live on a westerly corner of Vine St., though, so I haven’t completely escaped yet. ---

So, I think not. ---
