According to a fellow who wrote for the Washington Post, it indicated whether you grew up in the city or the country--city was around, country was rows. (Or maybe I have this backwards, for the column ran many years ago.)

Of course, _that_ you eat corn on the cob indicates that you are a hedonist. Poorer societies get the hull off the corn to get more of the nutrients. Some use mechanical means, some use chemicals like lye.
