英语百科

Nigger in the woodpile

A parody, titled

A nigger in the woodpile or fence is a dated American figure of speech meaning "some fact of considerable importance that is not disclosed—something suspicious or wrong". Commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, usage has declined since then, and use of the phrase by public figures has often been followed by criticism over the offensiveness of the term "nigger".
