corn
Yellow kernel vegetable
Corn is a tall grain plant with kernels growing in rows on a cob, a staple crop in the Americas.
In British English, corn means grain generally—wheat, barley, oats.
Corny jokes or sentiments are trite and unsophisticated, evoking rural simplicity.
A corn is also a painful hardening of skin on the foot, unrelated to the grain.
