    "an unknown person who is the cause of a problem, or is an obstacle to solving a problem"

    On all accounts this is false. The Tories are the problem for this whole situation.

          Political correctness gone mad. Even the word "woodpile" is now considered racist!

              I thought it was fairly well-known though obviously not commonly used these days... 25 years ago probably as I assume it was around when I was a kid that I know it.

                  That sounds exactly right to me. The phase is so outdated the only way it would 'slip out' is if it's part of your every language.

                    It means that there's something important in a situation that one side is not wanting to disclose.

                    It arose when the N word was commonly used as a term to describe a black person. It possibly came from the underground railroad, smuggling slaves into the non-slave states in railway wagons stacked with wood.
                    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                      The N word is STILL commonly used as a term to describe black people. The only difference now being that it is only black people that are allowed to use it thus.
