keep this page. It is uselful to know the history behind the phrase as it seems American origin and living in the UK I didn't know its origin. There was a recent newsstory of someone executive using the phrase http://news.scotsman.com/scotland.cfm?id=135422007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.141.83.47 (talkcontribs) 11:39, 26 January 2007

This is not in common use in the US, to my knowledge and I would really like that sentence changed or cited asap. --mroconnell (talk) 19:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a Divine Comedy song, 'Something for the Weekend', that uses a variant of this phrase ('there’s something in the woodshed'), I wondered if this was worth including, and if there should be a 'use in popular culture' section for entries like that? Sorry but I'm not confident enough to do it/make the decision myself.
