How to use "Cornball" in context?
What is a "cornball?"
A "cornball" is an informal word used to describe someone or something that is very pushy or aggressive. The word likely originated in baseball, where people throw balls at each other with a lot of force. Sometimes, these balls can go out of bounds, and the player who caught the ball (usually the batting team's pitcher) would be called a "cornball" for running in front of the ball.
