random pet peeve
Aug. 17th, 2011 11:24 amIt really, really irks me when people use the word barbeque when there is no barbeque involved. Like, they say that, and what they really mean is that someone is grilling hamburgers and hot dogs or whatever? And hey! I love hamburgers and hot dogs! Go ahead with your grilling! I am a fan! BUT NOT AS BIG OF A FAN AS I AM OF BARBEQUE, SO STOP IT WITH YOUR FALSE ADVERTISING. YOU GET ME ALL EXCITED ABOUT THIS GATHERING TO CONSUME BARBEQUE AND THEN THERE IS NO BARBEQUE. BARBEQUE IS SERIOUS, SERIOUS BUSINESS SO DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY.
If you're grilling and eating outside and such and there's no actual barbeque involved, it's a cook-out. The end.

Now I really want some barbeque.
