From The Stick Jock’s Dictionary - Originally a Torch Euphemism for "getting lucky".

Its origins date back to the AMC Movie Theatre advertisements of the mid to late 90's in which an overly excited looking man wearing black shades and holding a bag of popcorn would yell out via thought bubble "score some corn!".

Joe first coined the phrase, and transitioned the phrase over to Amtgard. The meaning eventually transitioned into a derogatory term for attempting to score with a substandard Amtgardian.

The phrase has run its course, but was commonly used by most of the Austin set circa 1990s and resurfaces occasionally.
