What does BARGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long, flat-bottomed boat used mainly for carrying heavy cargo on canals and rivers.
A barge is built for capacity rather than speed, and many have no engine of their own, being towed or pushed by a tug along canals, rivers, and harbours. Some are fitted out as houseboats or floating homes, moored for years at a single spot, while others carry coal, grain, or containers between ports. Informally, to barge also means to push into a place rudely or collide with something clumsily, a sense with no obvious connection to the boat.
