Corny might have also been extrapolated from seed catalogs that circulated starting in the 1890s and included simple and predictable little jokes in the margins that some called \u201ccorn jokes.\u201d Either way, the meaning seems to hinge on an aesthetically condescending geographic association with rural America. Cheesy, by contrast, has almost no clear path to its current association. Some claim the term has nothing to do with the food, but instead arrives through an ironic reversal of the Urdu chiz, meaning \u201cthing,\u201d which, picked up by British occupiers in the early 1800s, gave us phrases like \u201cthe big cheese.\u201d \u275e <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/newsletters\/archive\/2022\/03\/the-crucial-difference-between-cheesy-and-corny\/627038\/?utm_source=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">*<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crucial Difference Between &lsquo;Cheesy&rsquo; and &#8216;Corny&rsquo; \u275d Both etymologies are anecdotal and inconclusive.
