I’ve discussed email sign-offs before — sometime back in the stone age of this here site.

I don’t feel like I came to any singular conclusion on how to sign-off an email in a manner that a) retains a sense of your personal charm and wit, and b) doesn’t dip you headfirst into the realm of dickwadery. (Wow. Haven’t used that word in a while.)

So it comes down to My Lovely Wife sending me an email this morning to give me the bestestest (even better than “bestest”) email sign-off ever:

Blah-blah-blah, you’re so great, blah-blah-blah, I like cheese, blah-blah-blah, do this now, chore-monkey, blah-blah-blah.

Baarggggggggg.

Your Lovely Wife

Yes. She said “Baarggggggggg”.

What does it mean?

I don’t know.

And I don’t care.

God. It’s got a certain ineffable charm, a definite insouciance… and really makes absolutely no freaking sense.

“Aaarggggggggg”, that would make sense. So would “Yaarggggggggg”.

But “Baarggggggggg”?

I love it.

Baarggggggggg.
