Davis said that "back in the day" in Korn's hometown of Bakersfield — Kern's county seat — he attended a party where he overheard "two gay guys talking about how they loved felching each other [sucking or eating semen out of someone's anus]," as Tone Deaf reported. Subsequently, the incident became an inside joke for the future Korn singer's inner circle.

Davis explained, "The one dude was [saying] that he was felching his lover, and the guy shat all over his face, and he had a corn kernel on his tongue. So people that knew the story, they were there, and we just go, 'Corn.' And they'd be like, 'Shut up, dude! Oh, goddamn, no!' And that's how the name came about.
