Lightbulb Does anyone knows the word "Bargs"?

I have an idea and i'm looking for a word to represent it.

The general idea is about: Bargains / deals

Does the word "Bargs" is good enough to represent my general idea? (what jumping to your head when you hearing the word bargs?)

thanks alot for the replies!

Huh?

Great first post. Which doesn't make any sense.

What do I think of when I see this?...

Bargs

I think you've spelt barges wrong that's what. And nothing to do with bargains.

No, I don't think "bargs" is a good way to convey the concept of bargains/deals. I've never heard it used, and it appears at first glance as a misspelling of either "barges" or bangs." Trying to coin your own phrases is usually a risky venture.

Actually you're thinking of Barq's... not Barg's.

Interesting -- I did not know that. The fact that you had to explain it to us should give you the answer you need.

Are you sure? I could've sworn they recently changed it to something like:

At Last! Secrets of Barq's Bite Finally Laid Bare
The Bitter But Blatant Truth Behind the Strategy of Billions of Bottles Sold

(And how you can use it to virtually pour yourself a pint of profit.)

I was aware of the word used in this context but have you ever heard anyone anywhere use it in conversation?

"I'm just going into town to pick up some bargs in the sales." Errr no, I don't think so.

In what context were you planning on using the phrase? As a stand alone word, I wouldn't know what you meant. But if you used it as the name of a product, or as a term on a website that deals with bargains and deals, it might actually prove to be catchy and useful.

In order for me to tell you what I think, I really need to know the context of use.
