Howdy!
Thanks for returning to our Western Word of the Day column. The next few weeks I'm drifting a little bit away from what we think of as truly "western" words to focus on some other vocabulary term that I've learned and wanted to share.
Barge into Someone - run forcefully into someone
Origin of the term: River barges could only go downstream and had little manueverability so they would bang into other boats and barges on their journey
