What does CORNY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Embarrassingly unoriginal, sentimental, or old-fashioned, especially in humor or expressions of feeling.
A corny joke leans on an obvious pun or a punchline everyone has heard before, and a corny compliment lays on sentiment so thick that it feels more awkward than sincere. The word likely grew out of an older American sense of corny meaning unsophisticated or rural, as if the joke or sentiment belonged to someone fresh off a corn farm rather than a sharp city audience. Because corny signals mild embarrassment rather than real offense, people often use it about their own jokes, admitting a line was corny even as they deliver it.
