Why do they call it a corn maze and not a maize maze?

  They do, infact, call them a maize maze. This one is by me and they change it up every year. It’s really good fun.

  As someone who lives solidly in corn maze country, this is a well used joke whenever the topic of corn mazes comes up. Which means I hear it about twice a week throughout the fall.

  For that matter, why is it called “getting corn-holed” instead of “getting maize-holed”

  source
• JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Because they were made from sheafs of wheat in the past.

  “Corn” was the name for any grain in Britain.

  One of the biggest, most famous corn maze attractions is called The Amazing Maize Maze

  They should just call it a maize.

  Because maize maze sounds like the start of a tongue-twister and Americans are lazy with talking.

    "is it just a maize maze? or, is it, like, a real maize maze maze?

• Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Because that would be confusing

  I think you mean a maize labyrinth

  Actually I went to one yearly in my childhood called the Maize Maze. Not in the US though.

• cattywampas@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Because it’s called corn in America.

      What if they’re incontinent?

      source
    • givesomefucks@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      You know the only continent humans are native to is Africa, right?

      Indigenous is more correct because that involves the land changing someone, not just something coming from there.

  A maize labyrinth would be better

  source

  • Cethin@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Only if there’s one path, no dead ends. A maze branches, a labyrinth doesn’t and only winds around as one long path.

  Because finding your way out is a real cornundrum
