Huh I have exactly the opposite prior here. I was surprised by the Ngram though: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=to+bartend%2C+... Looks like over the past 200 years, "tend bar" was strongly preferred, but since the turn of the millennium, "bartend" has been catching up, and eventually overtook "tend bar". Similar results if you look at the infinitive or various cases, with the exception that "bartending" has been more popular than "tending bar" since the 1950s. |
