As a former farm boy (who had the job of carrying the chicken to the wood
pile and making the hole among the wood pieces used to control the
aftermath) I think no apology to city folk is necessary.  If they under
stood the reference (better yet from personal experience), they would be
more properly abashed when the phrase is used to describe their arm waving
and frenetic antics when things go awry.
