用法筆記
This is an informal shortening of 'barbecue' and is strongly associated with Australian and New Zealand English. Avoid using it in formal writing or in contexts where the audience may not be familiar with Australian vocabulary. The word can refer both to the cooking appliance (a metal grill) and to the social event itself.
