Definitions

  1. the hard cylindrical core that bears the kernels of an ear of corn

Word origin

From corn + cob. The Internet slang sense emerged from a 2011 absurdist tweet by Weird Twitter personality dril in which a man furiously denies being owned as he transforms into a corncob.

Used in a sentence

  • London is like a shelled corncob on the Derby day, and there is not a clerk who could raise the money to hire a saddle with an old hack under it that can sit down on his office-stool the next day without wincing.
  • He bit into a corncob, and Chisom watched him munch with his mouth open, his jaws working the corn like a mini grinding machine.
  • “Do you enjoy being corncobbed?”
