I say “grilling” or cookout. Only say BBQ if we are using the smoker or maybe if BBQ sauce is being brushed onto the only meat we are serving.

No you won’t.

It's poorly stated by the OP, but I too have a pet peeve with people grilling hamburgers and hotdogs and calling it BBQ. We can haggle over what parts of an animal qualify as BBQ but the cooking method and flavoring agents are non-negotiable.

In much of the country, especially the mid south where carry laws are fairly relaxed, a "BBQ gun" is a handgun sharp enough to be worn and shown off at an outdoor cooking event. If you smack the wrong person wearing his $5000 1911 with mammoth ivory grips at a 'cookout' for not adhering to your idiot nomenclature, you might be ridin home in an ambulance or a hearse. Maybe with no regrets, but undoubtedly with more holes in your dumb arse then you arrived with.
Food cooked outdoors over an open flame or smoked is generally referred to as BBQ in the Deep South. But I've only lived here for over 65 years.

I usually say, "grill", but I'm not so queer that I judge people for saying "barbecue" or "cookout".
