What is the recently popular "Barbie q"? "Barbie q", which originally means BBQ, is a cooking method of grilling with fire, generally used to refer to various barbecues. However, due to a game UP master, he was killed by the opposing player just after saying "Barbie q" during a live broadcast, so "Barbie q" has the meaning of "finished".
So what is BBQ? is an abbreviation of the word: barbeque / ˈbɑːbəkjuː / n. outdoor barbecue, barbecue picnic; grill (used outdoors); grilled food v. (on the grill) barbecue, can also be writtenbarbecue. Its etymology, you can generally refer to Zhuang Hecheng's "English Etymology Fun Talk", see below.
However, if the article ends here, I Moses are nothing but a hot spot, so I will not do this, I want to say: Teacher Zhuang Hecheng wrote wrong. What's wrong? The first sentence is wrong, not in the 17th century, but in the 15th century.
Why the 15th century? Because Columbus discovered the Americas in October 1492, his actual landing site was not the American continent, but a small island in the present-day Bahamas.
Not long after landing on the island, in search of much-needed gold and silver in Europe, Columbus traveled with his men and to the big island to the south, and it was here that Columbus and his party recorded that the local residents were friendly and entertained them with meat roasted on a wooden scaffold called barbara, and then the word entered English through Spanish, spelled barbarecue/barbeque, and the meaning of the word changed from grill itself to roasted meat.
Is there any evidence? Let's have two.
Evidence 1, see Figure 1:
Evidence two, see Figure 2:
Although etymonline.com tell us that the word barbare first appeared in English in the 1690s (https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=barbecue), the word appeared in English at this time, and the first time Columbus's gang saw the Aboriginal barbecue was in 1492 during Columbus's first sailing expedition, so Mr. Zhuang and Cheng were indeed wrong.
In fact, there is another mistake in The first sentence of Mr. Zhuang Andcheng: the first time Columbus's men encountered the aboriginal barbecue in barbaricue was on the island of Cuba Cuba, not Haiti, haiti, and the two islands are not the same thing. If you are interested, you can check it yourself, and I will not expand in detail.

Teacher Zhuang's classic etymology story works about the content, time and place and even the characters of the word barbare are wrong, hey, blame me for my eyes that are good at finding ugly [smile].
