Thank you Mister.Which of the following word formation makes the best fit?1. "bin" + "gage" , indicating the action to organize2. "binge" + suffix "age", the tendency to be addicted 3. "bing" + suffix "age", the character of MS Bing functionOpinion from anyone else please?

None of them fits as far as I'm concerned. #1 has no root connected to 'organize', #2 is just silly, and #3 if possible would be argot. As I said, your word creates no associations whatsoever for me.

Hi,

My first reaction is to think of the famous singer, Bing Crosby.

It sounds like a coinage by Pauly Shore, like "grindage" for "food" and "boobage" for, well, you get the idea. I see that annoying PC rash Bing in there. (Son in Law is a pretty funny movie if you can stand Shore at all, by the way. Lane Smith steals the show as the wooden farmer dad.)

The total amount of sound that comes from handbells.

We had to listen to the handbell choir perform 15 numbers and we were sitting in the front row!
That was way too much bingage for me!

Also, dingage.

I immediately associate it with the noun "baggage." The spelling has similarities, and baggage is often stored in a bin at airports for ease of handling.

Thank you all. Very helpful. It seems that people have their own understanding of the word.
