barge
Flat cargo boat
A barge is a large flat-bottomed boat for transporting heavy cargo on rivers and canals, typically pushed or towed rather than self-propelled.
To barge is to move clumsily or forcefully: He barged through the crowd.
To barge in is to intrude rudely: She barged in on the meeting without knocking.
