when smoking from a bowl, positioning the lighter on the side of the bowl so that it only gets a fraction of the weed rather than going straight over the top and scorching the whole thing. this helps the weed last longer and essentially allows for multiple people to get greens.
"smitty, you little bitch. watching all that perfectly good smoke rise from the top of the pipe while you're telling some bullshit story instead of passing it is really killin me here. if you had been corner hitting this wouldn't have been an issue because you would have still gotten a good hit off a fraction of the total volume and saved plenty for the rest of us. and if you've really had a girlfriend for six months, how come none of us have ever seen her in real life or in your facebook pictures?"

When hitting a bowl or a bong, you position the lighter to the side of whatever is holding your weed. you almost suck part of the lighter flame to only a fraction of the bowl the light up just a decent section of weed. Therefore you dont char the shit out of the whole thing. Its courtesy.
The guy before me in rotation didnt corner hit so we pretty much had to empty the whole bowl and pack a new one.

When two people throw down on a bowl (if this ever happens) or when two people just want green hit, one person calls corner hit. Then the person who hits it first only hits the corner of the bowl and passes the bowl to the other person who wanted green hit and they hit the other corner.
