What does BARGEE mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A person who works on or steers a barge, especially on a canal or river.
The word is mainly British and belongs to the working life of inland waterways, where barges once carried coal, grain and bricks. A bargee might own the boat or be hired to handle it, and families often lived aboard. The ending is the same as in words like absentee, but here it marks an ordinary job, not someone receiving an action. The phrase swear like a bargee shows how the trade was once pictured.
