Except our bags were filled with beans. Tossed at circles like a target laid on the ground, or drawn with chalk on the sidewalk. Hence, Beanbag!

We used to play lawn darts when I lived in Menomonee Falls, WI while I was a young kid. So glad I never got hit with one of those.

At least the bags cannot do a whole lot of damage if you misthrow one.

It was a verb where I came from.

Cornhole, bean bag toss or bags: What's the name of this tailgating pastime? - SBNation.com
