Corn-Dogging (v.) mid-2000s, Appalachian-American, coined by Cole Maness. Figurative – the act of wasting (valuable) resources such as daylight, money, etc., in the pursuit of incongruous or curious and/or seemingly pointless endeavors, e.g. swimming in a swimming hole, sitting on a decommissioned Sherman Tank cum War War II Monument such that the barrel appears to be your overly-large penis, listening to a taxidermist play the banjo and harmonica in a barn in West Virginia, throwing rocks at road signs for target practice and sport and possibly to gamble money, stopping in the middle of 150-mile bicycle ride to eat/share the World’s Largest Corn Dog.
