Barns


Barns litter the rural Tennessee landscape.


Not really sure what this is. Looks like half a barn.



Barn idioms "He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn" is
a popular expression for a person having poor aim when
throwing an object or when shooting at something.

To "lock the barn door after the horse has bolted" implies
that one has solved a problem too late to prevent it.

"Were you raised in a barn?" is an accusation used differently
in various parts of the English-speaking world, but most
common as a reprimand when someone exhibits poor manners
by either using ill-mannered language (particularly if related to
manure), or leaving doors open.
