Nigerian barges

Fake accounting, imaginary financial transactions.

Inspired by the huge Enron financial scandal, in which six former Enron
executives were charged with conspiracy for alleged involvement in a
December 1999 deal in which a loan from Merrill Lynch was disguised as
a sale of Nigerian barges so Enron could appear to have met earnings
targets.

Why do I get the feeling our accountant is playing with Nigerian barges here?

Bucky Barnes

The best fucking Marvel character in existence and god damn you wish he was real. He would be a great friend and an even better boyfriend. Gentle and caring, afraid of harming you. Still living in the 90s and hating on technology, you would have to help him use anything that lit up. Somewhere around 90 years old, but who gives a shit. He's hot.

Holy fucking hell I wish Bucky Barnes was real, and not just in my dreams.

Wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole

Wouldn’t touch it with a bargepole is an expression indicating extreme dislike and distaste for an object, person or situation. The expression can be used in a similar way to wouldn’t touch her with a 10 foot pole, but is not solely applicable to females; it is even more disparaging when used about a female as it treats her as something less than human. Many bargepoles were 12 or 13 feet long, but one specialised type called a setting boom could be as long as 28 feet! So as you can imagine, wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole means something which you would much rather keep well away from.

“Mate, you want to avoid that one; I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole!”
