Professor Bertram Potts:
There's another word I'd like to take up now. It's recurred several times in our discussions and its meaning still eludes me. I think it was Miss O'Shea who used it yesterday in reference to the cuffs that I wear. The word is "corny." Sugarpuss O'Shea:
Yeah, wouldn't you say they were corny? Professor Bertram Potts:
Because of the cornstarch in them? Sugarpuss O'Shea:
Because it's 1941. Professor Bertram Potts:
Then corny means old fashioned. Sugarpuss O'Shea:
Kind of hick, loose-tooth. Garbage Man:
Mortimer Snerd. Oh, geez. College Boy:
There's other kinds of corn, too. When you give your girl your fraternity pin, well, if she says, "I'll keep it forever," - that's corny too. Newsboy:
Yeah or take a joke. "That's no lady, that's my wife." Garbage Man:
Making your baby's shoes into ashtrays. That's corn. Sugarpuss O'Shea:
Right off the cob. Professor Bertram Potts:
Well, let's stick with corn. Is it synonymous with baloney? Newsboy:
No, it's anything that gets them in the sticks. Garbage Man:
"Long time, no see, " that's Indian corn. Sugarpuss O'Shea:
Yeah, when a guy comes to see a girl and says, "Let's turn off the lights, it hurts my eyes." Brother, that's corn. Professor Bertram Potts:
The implication is he's trying to pull some hoytoytoy? Sugarpuss O'Shea:
You're catching on, Professor. Professor Bertram Potts:
Countrified, old-fashioned, sentimental
