I’ve always heard it called picking or shucking from the old timers in Ohio.

Can't find an image, but a while back watched an old timer using some sort of hook and a twisting motion to manually harvest corn cobs from the stalk.

the ancient roman poet catullus has a poem excoriating his ex and he uses the verb "glubit" which is this same pun; the word refers to that jerking or pulling action like you can do to plants but he uses it to mean she's jerking off everyone in rome
