It has two meanings. One in reference to getting a beat down. The other in reference to practicing. For instance if you're a drummer you can go in the woodshed, which means practice.

Xnex Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 very commonly used; especially in the 70's and 80's I would say. When one team just romps the he77 out of the other it's called taking them behind the woodshed. Today we are much less metaphorical and far more graphic in our descriptions of such things so the woodshed reference goes largely unused. But it's still lurking, waiting.....patiently, for the opportunity to pounce and reclaim it's rightful spot among populist catchphrases. IT WILL NOT BE IGNORED!

JC Falcon Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Rural parents used to take their misbehaving child out to the woodshed to whip him or her really good so their crying wouldn't upset the rest of the people in the house. Usually the threat of being 'taken to the woodshed' was enough to stop any future misbehaviors cold.It became a common saying for giving (or receiving) a sound beating.A shame parents don't still do this, as that generation that got 'abused' with physical discipline like this went on to overcome both the Great Depression and the Germans and Japanese in WWII.

ZOSO62 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 It's a common phrase, when I plug in my amp to my guitar I tell the wife that it's time to go to the woodshed and work on my chops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Falcon Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Not sure I understand what you mean by misgivings. Are you opposed to physical discipline of children, or something else?Football is a physical game. Somebody is going to get beat, and somebody is going to do the beating.It's certainly better than "beat them like a slave" or "beat them like a rented mule" or "beat them like a red-headed step-child." as at least some people approve of corporal punishment of children, whereas the above 3 examples are truly abusive.In any case I would rather the Falcons be the 'beat-ers' than the recipient.

The fact is society doesn't want men to stand up and be strong so you wind up with a screwed up society that has been overly feminized. I say stand up and stuff their political correct bull down their throats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconfoozball Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 The very reason I have such misgivings about the "hickory stick" awardYou don't understand the award then. It is a very good thing for our Falcons to take opponents to the woodshed.:blink: :blink: :blink: WTF?!?!?!?! I love the Hick'ry stick award. It has to be the single best thread of the week during the season!Yep, I very much enjoy that thread as well. Tandy does a great job reminding us of individual performances, and more often that not, I read something in there that I forgot about or missed during the game.

War Damn Eagle Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 For example, Lane Kiffin is going to the woodshed today.Even an Auburn fan knows this.

You're fooling yourself if you believe a women can teach a boy to be a man. When I see these little boys crying and whining like a bunch of babies and their Moms letting them get away with it it makes me sick. A father is going to jack his little butt up and tell him to stop crying real quick. The absence of fathers in the lives of so many males is a HUGE factor in the overall disfunctionality of our society. That is the truth and there is no way to get around it.
