So over the weekend I was looking at my MOTUC Mer-Man and remembered hearing his weapon derogatorily referred to as a “corn sword” (moreso the original version than the MOTUC one). Curious to see what Google had to say about the term, I punched it in…I think the first result speaks for itself. Pleased to [...]
