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."
