[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean your cook-out?  At a barbecue, one serves barbecue (ie, slow cooked, smoked meat). If you're looking for a good non-burger cookout item, I suggest nice grilled sausages served with saltines and cheddar slices, shrimp and chicken kabobs (peppers, red onions, tomatoes, meat), and soy and teriyaki marinated beef skewers (like satay).

Were you trying to start a north-versus-south flame war, or are you sincerely unaware that the overwhelming majority of the United States uses "barbecue" in the same way as OP?[/quote]

I'm aware, just trying to correct the majority who use the term 'barbecue' incorrectly ... in an etymological sense.

You can't "correct the majority" about the use of a term because the majority is correct by definition about usage, regardless of a word's etymology.

What a shame ... and the reason that LOL, ROFL, ur, and any number of modern text trash will one day become legitimate members of the language.  As long as the philistines outnumber the informed, meaning will be lost to the masses. [/quote]
