Yeah it's been bags for me since I was about 5. All the local tournaments have been bags. But on TV and out east, I've heard Cornhole. That's the original.
American Cornhole League

The ACL. Bags are the equipment.
Me too the first time I saw "cornhole" was driving to Virginia from MA back around 2005 or so. And there were billboards for cornhole tournaments. I was WTF is thatI laugh and think of this:
Hashtag Chad used to call it baggo. Of course, he's from Ar-Kansas.
Facts on name and also me about giggling.
I remember explaining it to some Aussies and they had the weirdest look on their face.
Baggo was a brand name of knock-off boards and bags that were a similar game as Cornhole. Usually plastic boards and sold in Walmart/Kroger, if not Big Lots.
I knew it as cornhole originally, but somewhere along the way people started calling it bags.
Call it cornhole, but I have hear people say let's toss some bags.

bad enough the game had the misfortune to be called "cornhole"
now we're adding "bags" to the mix ?? (i've never heard it referred to as "bags")
are there any other crappy names for this game, i wonder
