[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband sounds so bizarre, OP. Annoying too.

I’m Southern. FWIW, I know how plenty of people who call their mothers Mama but also plenty more who call their mothers Mom, Mother. Mama is not the most prevalent and it seems weird your husband is stuck on that term. And I have never heard anyone southern call a backyard get together w grilled food a cookout. They absolutely call it a BBQ. And BBQ is ALSO synonymous w pulled pork, as others have noted. It is used to describe backyard parties and the actual BBQed food itself.

I'm from the south with relatives scattered through several states. All our get togethers were called cook outs. BBQ is a delicious food item, not what we call our outdoor reunions. [b]It also took me several years to stop calling every carbonated beverage a coke.[/b] Saying hey to everybody and using y'all took more years to drop. I've lost the southern accent unless I'm tired and have to say two words together with "ill" in them. I can not say "ill will" without one of them becoming an eeeel.[/quote]

Wowwwwwwwww, you are very special.[/quote]
