IT'S TRUE, IT'S TRUE: Mungowit:
"Most important: Barbeque. Now, y’all think barbeque is a verb, but it’s a noun: we grill steaks, we eat barbeque. Barbeque is a well-defined set of things: smoked, pulled, chopped pork, with slaw, hush puppies, French fries, and sweet tea. These things constitute an organic whole. You can no more have barbecue without these than you would order, “Cheese steak, with swiss” in Philadelphia."
A class I was in was invited by our professor to have barbeque at his house in lieu of one of our class sessions (well, we actually had the class first, then we had dinner); the dinner was advertised as being "barbeque." I was deeply surprised when steaks ended up being grilled instead, and no one could seem to figure out why this didn't seem right to me. It's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks this.

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
