Never heard that one. For ME, it has always seemed like a lazy way to say the word "borrow". Starts with "borrow ditch", then transitions to "barra ditch", then ends up as "bar ditch". Can't see the parallel from "tank" to "pond". ;-)

We have that at work... Ever hear of a Mad Axe? Me either until I started working at this company. Turns out they mean Mattock. But somewhere along the way years ago.
