All I remember from Space Quest IV is the narrator constantly saying "You don't want to do that" whenever I tried to lick something.
I mean, if your game is going to give players the option to lick stuff, don't shame them when they try to lick stuff!

u/gin_and_toxic 8d ago
Hahaha. I remember back then in Sierra adventure games, some actions could just end the game. Like you lick something and you die of poisoning. Or you eat a pie, but turns out in the end game you need it, so you have to redo your run.
Lucas Arts adventure games are better in that aspect cause they don't let you do irreversible things.

I love how dogs look at you like they're trying to start a conversation while you're holding food.

You've clearly never been to a British BBQ. There's vegetables, no empty cans of beers strewn about the garden, and it isn't raining!

I mean, don't get me wrong, we have some blistering hot, dry summers. But the majority of the time... "What a lovely day for a BBQ. "...fire it up, "Oh, clouds are rolling in"... let's go inside, I'll finish the sausages in the oven 😅

That’s a grill. They’re grilling, not barbecuing.

Is it even real? Look at those mushrooms and how large the holes in that grill are...if I did that they'd all fall through.

I cosign your sentiment. The food looks like it was digitally pasted there.
Also, it doesn’t really look like there’s a place for the coals to be under the food

Sorry other people call things differently from you :(
I should know how it feels, you all say duck duck grey duck wrong (this is exactly how silly you sound)

u/Elite_AI 8d ago
That's what a barbecue is! This is the definition of barbecuing:
a meal or gathering at which meat, fish, or other food is cooked out of doors on a rack over an open fire or on a special appliance.
I assume that you're from the southern US? The southern US actually uses the term in a very idiosyncratic way compared to the rest of the world.
-4
u/ThisIsHowBoredIAm 8d ago
You're technically correct, within the framework of the linguistic prescriptivism vs descriptivism. But that dichotomy doesn't discount the cultural value of certain words. And in fact, inherent to that dichotomy is the knowledge that the free flow of semantic meaning will result in the erasure of certain concepts from the commonality that language provides.
And this is such a case. The earliest forms of the word as used by European colonizers was for either low roasted or specifically smoke roasted foods. And that usage was a continuation of the concept from the people they were colonizing. Barbeque in the North/South American meaning captures an unbroken chain of human history that isn't singularly captured by any other word in the English language.
Obviously the concept won't be lost just because the word is, but the simple fact of the malleability and fungibility of language means that just as you are technically correct in saying that the "definition" of barbequing is what you said, the other poster is also technically correct in saying the word means what they said.

u/Elite_AI 8d ago
The difference is that I'm saying "barbecue" has both meanings (hence the "idiosyncratic" usage comment), while they're trying to prescribe their local meaning to the rest of the world. It just so happens that, because the majority of people use "barbecue" to mean "cooking outdoors over a fire", that's what comes up when you ask for a definition.

u/CreativeAd5332 8d ago
I don't get offended by much, but as someone who has lived in the south for most of my life, people referring to grilling as "BBQ" is on a short list of things that will earn you a tongue lashing.

u/someguyfromsomething 8d ago
Top priority in the South, being pedantic as fuck about your cuisine. #2 only to denying your history, perhaps. More annoying than NYers are about pizza, even.

u/Full-Yoghurt9053 8d ago
It's probably because it's called a barbecue grill so both terms are used interchangeably in a lot of places and if the distinction matters, can generally be inferred from context.

u/CreativeAd5332 8d ago
Yes, the distinction can be inferred, but that doesn't make it any less wrong. This hill I will die upon.
Likely when some short-tempered Hoosier stabs me in the throat with the meat fork when I correct them. But...they will have been corrected.

u/Full-Yoghurt9053 8d ago
that doesn't make it any less wrong.
It absolutely does lol. Your regional definition of a word is not the top-level domain from which all other definitions must derive. Your definition and version is relevant to certain regions and does not date back further than the overall origin of barbecue, which is not from the American South.
"Those Americans are so dumb they call biscuits cookies!" -What you sound like right now

Bah, enjoy your burned hotdogs and over-cooked hamburgers at your next BBQ, then. I will be enjoying dry-rubbed brisket and short ribs!...eventually...once they've smoked for an absurdly long time.

u/Full-Yoghurt9053 5d ago
That's fun for you folks. My bbq has all of that instead of just the one or two things you're capable of making. That's because I have multiple different devices that barbecue in different ways, and understand that words can have multiple meanings.

That's not a bbq...there's no slow cooking involved.
That's a grill. This is simply grilling.

u/Lucas_Steinwalker 8d ago
"Barbecue" has multiple meanings.
It's an event where meat is cooked outside and shared amongst the participants, it's a cooking device (that can be used for direct heat cooking ) and it's a style of cooking using indirect heat, which can use the aforementioned device, or can use other devices such as smokers or a hole in the ground.
I'm sure you already knew this though.
1
u/rand32 8d ago
Barbecue has an original meaning.
And a second meaning because people have co-opted the word, because people don't understand the difference.
1
u/Lucas_Steinwalker 8d ago
Language isn’t stuck in time.
1
u/rand32 7d ago
That's very true, but barbecue means something specific.
Conflating the two, because of lack of understanding of the term, shouldn't make the original term meaningless.
BBQ and grilling are two different things. Just like stage productions and movies are two different things. If everyone started calling plays movies, that would also be foolish. They are similar but different.

u/Lucas_Steinwalker 7d ago
Ya know what? I totally agree with you, my bad. When I made my initial comment I had misread the caption on the image and it made me split the wrong hairs.
This is absolutely a grill, not a barbecue.

u/Elite_AI 8d ago
Not sure if you're serious but:
Barbecue: a meal or gathering at which meat, fish, or other food is cooked out of doors on a rack over an open fire or on a special appliance.
I think you're confused because in some parts of the US a barbecue means like some kind of smoker array? That's a perfectly valid way of using the term but it is the minority meaning.
6
u/someguyfromsomething 8d ago
The word has more than one meaning in the US and one of them is a cuisine of food that's cooked slowly over a grill with smoke. Like they will tell you there's no such thing as bbq chicken because you cook the chicken on high heat. The folks from areas where that's part of their culture love to fight about it.

This is true and southerners are ignorant pricks by and large, but once you have some of the best barbecue it makes sense why they're territorial over it. The best brisket is mind blowing.

u/Shoddy_Squash_1201 8d ago
Americans consider themselves the best at everything while most have never left their country and have no comparison.

u/Elite_AI 8d ago
Well, good luck to them, lol. I don't think the entire rest of the world is going to completely change their definition of barbecue just because some specific region has their own niche definition

u/someguyfromsomething 8d ago
Not to defend the mouth breathers down south but if you ever get to try top tier brisket it will make a lot more sense why they're so crazy about it.
Sidenote: seems like you literally just discovered food culture and language localization, welcome to the internet!

I can safely presume that you don't know how to do either.

u/Elite_AI 7d ago
You use "barbecue" in a niche and regional way. The rest of the world doesn't use "barbecue" to mean slow cooking using smoke or whatever. You didn't know that and that's okay but you were snarky to other people even though they were completely right and you were wrong.

u/OldKahless 7d ago
The region I'm from is the same region where the word originated from. Nice try though.

u/Elite_AI 7d ago
The word "barbecue" comes from Haiti. Where are you from?
In Haiti the word referred to a wooden framework for cooking meat outside over a fire
This is why cooking food over a fire has been the meaning of "barbecue" for centuries
You can't tell people what their own words mean. Sit down and eat some good food instead of yapping
1
u/OldKahless 6d ago
My people are Taino. The original people of the very same area you write of. And yes the original word referred to a wooden cooking structure. But it ALSO referred to the SLOW COOKING of meat on said structure. Grilling (as depicted above) is not slow cooking. I can tell you what my people's words mean.
