grilling vs BBQ?

[hawgheaven]

My opinion is who cares what it's called, as long as the food is good!

Down here in NC
Barbecue is a noun, really only pulled pork (some wiggle room on the meat nowadays)
Grilling is a verb, more akin to cooking something with fire (probably hot and fast)
A cookout is a noun, an event when you go to someone’s house to eat grilled/smoked meats.
It would sound something like this:
Hey want to come over for a cookout? We’ll be havin’ some bbq and grillin’ some burgers and dogs for the kids. (And everyone would know that by bbq you were talking about pulled pork)
Hope that clears it up [emoji3]

Potsie...one is an acronym, the other two are variations based on geography...proper English vs American English (not saying that American English is wrong).

I like the idea that BBQ means over wood fire while grill means over gas. good and simple way to differentiate for the ignorant masses.

A lot of this comes from regional variations in language. In the deep south, barbecue is smoked meat, served with a selection of sauces. It's cooked on a smoker.  Nobody here, except for northern transplants, refer to *a* barbecue. If you're referring to a the thing you use to cook outside with charcoal or gas, that's a grill (and even what Weber calls it). If you're referring to an outdoor even when grilled meats are served, that is a cookout.

I beg to differ.
This is a serious & important issue.

In fact, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.  Blah, blah, blah, blah.  Furthermore, blah, blah, blah, blah.  Finally, blah, blah, blah, blah!

Plain & simple. Fuck the terms.
Whether grillin or smoking outside, it's BBQ, Nuff said!
