- 1烤肉、烤肉架（澳洲口語，從 barbecue 縮來的；不是芭比娃娃）
In Australia, a barbie is a barbecue: cooking food outside over a fire or a hot grill, and also the grill itself. People say “Come over for a barbie” when they mean a relaxed meal in the garden — often sausages, steak, or . It is warm, everyday speech, not a formal word. You will hear it a lot in Australia. In Britain or the US, people usually just say barbecue, though many people still know the Australian word. Though actually, most who see Barbie think of the famous doll. That is a different word, and it is a name, so it takes a capital B. This barbie is the cooking one. The same short shape can also be old slang for a (a strong sleeping drug), but that is not the meaning here.
