That is, the word "corncob" is in ref to that tweet, used to describe ppl thought to have been devastatingly embarrassed ("owned") online.

Especially if they stubbornly pretend no embarrassment occurred, etc.

But you can imagine centrists have displayed this embarrassment in abundance, at least as judged by the culture that uses this term.

The Dril tweet isn't funny. The meme isn't funny. It isn't offensive obviously, just not funny. 1/2
