Corn or Corn on the Cob?

[Anonymous]

Me and my best friend were having a debate over corn and corn on the cob

I think corn and corn on the cob are different while she thinks they are the same like if someone said for dinner were having corn she said she would think corn on the cob while I would just think like loose corn

If someone said for dinner were having corn what would u think?

Corn (Loose)

Corn on the Cob

I would think corn (loose).

But then again if they later said cob, it wouldn't make much of a difference to me because it's still corn.
It doesn't matter the immediate image that comes to mind it's still the same food.

Ex. If I said I am eating pork.
The immediate image you get is ham.
Would it matter if I am eating bacon?
It's still pork and from a pig.

True... Very True Although when someone says pork I don't think of ham I think of just a piece of red meat

[Stacyzee]

Right. It was just an example :)
Just one name can give different people many different images

i would think loose corn, hence why its not called corn on the cob.

I suppose if a family never has loose corn they would have no need to differentiate.

[Asker]

Yeah I guess so I would just think loose corn too because if it was corn on the cob why not just say that; corn on the cob

[TheGoodTheBadTheHOT]

Not that it really matters at the end of the day haha

[Asker]

Lol! Yeah

I choose B because I think that is what I would think. There is also another thing about corn but I won't say because you might think it is gross lol.

I would think corn on a cob because that's how corn comes naturally. It could mean either one though.

Really depends on the season. whencorn is in season, I'd assume on the cob.
