A Barbecue Dad is a generic
father figure who cooks all the food at a cookout such as
hamburgers and hotdogs (while drinking beer). The roles of Barbecue Dad include referring to the younger attendees as, "Big Guy", "Champ", "Chief", and "Sport". Barbecue Dads talk about Dad things such as, lawnmowers, building your own deck,
Sunday Night Football, and his glory days.
"Hey Jimmy, I wanna have a cookout
next weekend, but my dad is gonna be
out of town."
"Aw man, we are going to have to find someone to fulfill the role of "Barbecue Dad."
"
You're right Jimmy, cookouts aren't the same without BBQ Dads."
