In square dance, corner refers to the person you are adjacent to who is not your partner. In standard positioning (boy on the left, girl on the right), this would be for men (or gents) the person standing to one's left, and for ladies the person standing to one's right. In square dance one will often change partners and corners during the course of a dance, in which case one can distinguish between the "original corner" and a "situational corner".
In sports such as football (soccer) or boxing corner may refer to a person or position (cornerman).
A corner is also used in geography, such as the Four Corners Monument in the United States, marking the corner of state boundary lines.
A 'corner' can also mean a bend in the road or on a race track. Taking the 'corner' better than the other driver's is key in true motor racing, such as the F1, the WRC Rally, etc.
In most Fighting Games, the edge of the stage is referred to as the "corner," because much like a corner in a wall, it is typically a disadvantageous position, which allows for more combination attacks and makes escaping offensive pressure significantly more difficult. More on [ Corner ]
