Description
"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 born/raised in a barn?" is an accusation used differently in various parts of the English-speaking world, but most commonly as a reprimand when someone exhibits poor manners by either using ill-mannered language (particularly if related to manure), or leaving doors open.
"Your barn door is open" is used as a euphemism to remind someone to zip the fly of their trousers.
To "barnstorm" is to travel quickly around a large area making frequent public appearances.

Good Sunday morning to honorable Lady Marcia. I hope you're having a lot of summer fun, my lady. I'm delighted to see that we share the love of old barns and nostalgia. Being in your barn gallery is sheer delight. I hope you get a chance, if you haven't already, to visit what is quite possibly the most photographed barn in the U.S. : the Glade Creek Barn in Babcock State Park in West Virginia. I was there a couple of years ago. Mid to late October is the best time when Fall colors are around. You can see a few shots of it in my Virginia gallery.
