A '''nigger in the woodpile''' or '''fence''' is a [[figure of speech]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nigger+in+the+woodpile|title=Definition of NIGGER IN THE WOODPILE|publisher=merriam-webster.com [broken link?]}}</ref> originating in America 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 racism of the term "[[nigger]]".

== Origin ==
Both the "fence" and "woodpile" variants developed about the same time in the period of 1840–50,<ref>"nigger, n. and adj., §P2" OED Online. Oxford University Press, June 2017. Web. 11 July 2017.</ref> when the [[Underground Railroad]] was flourishing. The evidence is slight, but it is presumed that they were derived from actual instances of the concealment of [[fugitive slaves]] in their flight north under piles of firewood or within hiding places in stone walls.<ref>"nigger, n. and adj., etymology" OED Online. Oxford University Press, June 2017. Web. 11 July 2017.</ref><ref>"Heavens to Betsy" (1955, Harper & Row) by [[Charles Earle Funk]]</ref> Another possible origin comes from the practice of transporting [[pulpwood]] on special railroad cars. In the era of slavery, the pulpwood cars were built with an outer frame with the wood being stacked inside in moderately neat rows and stacks. However, given the nature of the cars, it was possible to smuggle persons in the pile itself, possibly giving rise to the term.{{cn|date=June 2017}}

== Usage ==
===Historic===
An American film comedy titled ''[[A Nigger in the Woodpile]]'' was released in 1904,<ref name=Stewart>{{cite book|last=Stewart|first=Jacqueline Najuma|title=Migrating to the Movies: Cinema and Black Urban Modernity|year=2005|publisher=University of California Press|location=Berkeley|isbn=0-520-23350-6|page=1}}</ref> and the idiom was common in literature and film during the 1920s and 30s. Examples include the original 1927 version of the [[Hardy Boys]] book ''[[The House on the Cliff]]'' (pg. 77), where Frank Hardy uses the expression (removed when the story was revised in 1959), and the old-time band [[Skillet Lickers]] recording a song called "Nigger in the Woodpile" in 1930.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/skillet-lickers-vol-4-1929-1930-mw0000007207|title=Skillet Lickers, Vol. 4: 1929–1930 – The Skillet Lickers – Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards – AllMusic|author=Steve Leggett|publisher=AllMusic}}</ref>

[[Dr. Seuss]] used the term in a 1929 cartoon "Cross-Section of The World's Most Prosperous Department Store", wherein customers browse through a department store looking for items to make their lives more difficult. The panels show a series of scenarios based on popular figures of speech: a man with a net trying to catch a [[fly in the ointment|fly for his ointment]], another looking at [[monkeywrenching|monkey wrenches to throw into his machinery]], one examining [[needle in a haystack (disambiguation)|haystacks with matching needles]], and finally a man looking at a selection of "niggers" for his woodpile.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/27/racist-dr-seuss_n_7446806.html|title=One Particularly Upsetting And Racist Dr. Seuss Cartoon Is Heading To Auction|first=Priscilla|last=Frank|date=27 May 2015|work=Huff Post}}</ref>

A visual gag in the [[Looney Tunes]] cartoon "[[Porky's Railroad]]" from 1937 refers to the phrase.

The phrase is also used in ''[[The Razor's Edge]]'' by [[Somerset Maugham]]. One of the American characters, on the brink of closing a business deal, says to the narrator, "I'll fly down to Texas to give the outfit the once-over, and you bet I'll keep my eyes peeled for a nigger in the woodpile before I cough up any ... dough."<ref>The Razor's Edge (Vintage International) (Part Seven, Chapter 3, p. 244).</ref>

Agatha Christie used the phrase as the title of Chapter 18 of the 1937 [[Hercule Poirot]] novel ''[[Dumb Witness]]'', which was later published in the U.S. as ''Poirot Loses a Client''. The chapter was later retitled "A Cuckoo in the Nest". The phrase was also used by a character in early editions of Christie's novel ''[[And Then There Were None]]'' (originally released under the title ''Ten Little Niggers''), but was changed in later editions to "There's a [[fly in the ointment]]."

[[W. C. Fields]] used variations of this phrase in two of his films: In ''[[You Can't Cheat an Honest Man]]'' (1939) he said there was "an Ubangi in the fuel supply", and in ''[[My Little Chickadee]]'' (1940) he said there was "an Ethiopian in the fuel supply".

===Contemporary usage by Conservative Party politicians in the United Kingdom===
====Lord Dixon Smith====
The phrase declined in use during the 20th century, and now the occasional use of this phrase by public figures has often been followed by controversy and apology. In July 2008, the leader of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|British Conservative Party]], [[David Cameron]], was urged to sack Conservative peer [[Lord Dixon-Smith]], who said in the [[House of Lords]] that concerns about government housing legislation were "the nigger in the woodpile". Dixon-Smith said the phrase had "slipped out without my thinking", and that "It was common parlance when I was younger".<ref name="cameron">{{cite web|url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/2273176/David-Cameron-urged-to-sack-Tory-peer-after-nigger-in-the-woodpile-remark.html|title=David Cameron urged to sack Tory peer after 'nigger in the woodpile' remark – David Cameron is facing calls to sack a Conservative peer who described concerns over government housing legislation as "the nigger in the woodpile" during a House of Lords debate.|author=Lucy Cockcroft|website=The Daily Telegraph|date=9 July 2008}}</ref>
====Anne Marie Morris====
In July 2017, the phrase was again used by a British Conservative Party politician, [[Anne Marie Morris]], who said that [[Brexit]] without a deal with the European Union was the "real nigger in the woodpile". With her job on the line she later apologised, saying "The comment was totally unintentional.
