The 'Corn Cobbed' meme, or simply 'getting corned,' is a satirical internet term used to describe someone who has been clearly defeated or embarrassed in an online argument but continues to insist they are not 'owned.' The concept originated from a 2011 tweet by user @p_ettinger which famously depicted a person screaming their defiance as they physically shrink and transform into a corn cob. In political and social media discourse, being 'corn-cobbed' implies a lack of self-awareness and a desperate, failing attempt to maintain dignity while being thoroughly humiliated. It is the ultimate label for someone who has lost the plot but refuses to admit defeat despite the obvious evidence.
