Phrase used at the workplace to explain why a particularly stupid, out of scope, or dubious change must be made to a project, because it was handed down by a higher level manager with little understanding of the repercussions. Refers to the corner offices that most clueless managers tend to have.
Worker: You do realize that we've been working on this for 3 months, building it out as it was planned, and now you're asking us to completely change it? We've gone from 90% done to 10% done in 60 seconds.
Middle Manager: Hey, what can I tell you? It came from the corner.

An individual who despises interacting with those at a particular function or party; one who will be at the corner (the outskirts or on the outside) at the party who will be unlikely to interact with women in particular. This individual despises being at the forefront, and will actively avoid any scenario that will cause him to retreat from the corner of safety in which his interaction with 1 or 2 of his similarly awkward friends would be voided and he his forces to talk to women he does not know. This phenomenon can be found in low tier fraternities at various United States Fraternities. This individual will fail to find a girl interest in him unless force fed at least a minimum of 8 shots and instructed to interact with women
Yo, that guy is being a huge corner merchant bro. He hasn’t talked to a chick in at least a semester.
