Pushed forcefully or roughly, especially by crashing into something or someone without permission.
From 'barge' (a flat-bottomed boat), which evolved to mean 'to move heavily or clumsily' and then 'to push rudely.' The nautical origin reflects how barges move through water with force.
The word 'barge' as a verb became popular in the 1800s because actual barges on canals and rivers would crash into each other or docks—so people started using it to describe any clumsy, forceful movement!
