re: Types of people in the south who say they are going to a "barbecue" instead of a "cookout"

Only urban folk say “cookout”

What a stupid thread

It's poorly stated by the OP, but I too have a pet peeve with people grilling hamburgers and hotdogs and calling it BBQ.

Same. Inviting someone over for BBQ is smoked chicken, ribs, pulled pork, brisket, etc.

i say grill. everyone else i know says barbecue. no one says cookout.

You're still a virgin, aren't ya?

I normally think of cooking burgers and dogs as grilling, but had friends from 40 minutes down I-20 that put barbecue sauce on hamburger patties. They were the only people I knew who barbecued burgers.

I prefer my burgers and steaks grilled with a bit of garlic and ground pepper sprinkled on them 10-15 minutes before putting them on. I'm a medium rare steak guy. Go medium on my burgers, with a slice of sharp cheddar!

My black friends in Farmerville had cookouts that lasted all day. They cooked hotdogs and hamburgers for lunch on a grill, while they waited for ribs, chicken, turkey legs, and brisket that was cooking in smokers for dinner.

My mom's aunt used to have an old Frigidaire refrigerator that someone made into a smoker. She smoked briskets, hams ribs, chickens and turkeys in it. Cooked burgers in it too.
