No…

…not a pentagram.

A panagram.

Yes, panagram.

Yes, it so a real word.

Look it up, then.

In Woody Harrelson’s movie Kingpin, Harrelson’s character tries to get a young Amish man to compete in a bowling tournament. To this end, he goes to the man's community and tries to live as one of them. That day, the Amish are putting up a barn, with Roy helping. Then the women call about dinner being ready. He lets go of the rope he was holding and runs, causing the barn wall to fall. The Amish are not amused.

We are all familiar with the age-old saying, “Were you born in a barn?” The original meaning of the phrase traces to an exclamation of one literally leaving the door open. In an era past, farmers often left the barn doors open during the day for livestock on pasture.

In the Simpsons episode "Bart of Darkness," Homer Simpson buys a swimming pool kit and his whole family pitches in to assemble it. An Amish farmer appears to admire what they've built, which is a barn and not a pool. They get it right the second time.

Normally a barn has two long sides, and the ends are relatively narrower. “Broad side of a barn” means one of the longer sides. If you can’t hit the broad side of a barn, it means you can't hit a large, easy-to-hit target.

In "Weird Al" Yankovic’s "Amish Paradise," The barn the other Amish folks are trying to raise falls, but Al is standing in just the right spot for the wall to miss.
And of course, the song's lyrics include "Hitching up the buggy/Churnin' lots of butter/Raised a barn on Monday/Soon I'll raise another!"
