There we go! It's a definite tie between the first two for me so I'm not voting because they're one in the same for me. The others I can agree with but less identify with.
I don't say 'barbecue' unless there's family coming over. With just immediate family, it's a meal.

I think this is probably the most popular definition nation wide.
I've learned that anytime you're outside of the Southeast/Southwest, if someone says "BBQ" they usually mean what we Okies/Texans call "grilling out" as in a cookout in the backyard or by the lake. (In other words, be prepared to be disappointed by "BBQ" is you get above the Mason-Dixon....most likely you'll get grilled hamburgers/hotdogs.)
When I hear "BBQ" I think of Earl's Rib Palace in OKC (or Van's Pig Stand in Norman, Jake's in Chickasha, Smokin' Joes in Davis/Ardmore, etc.) or Cousin's in Fort Worth.
BBQ to me (and my folks/other Okies I know) generally means pork ribs, fried okra, greasy curly fries, baked beans, and sweet tea. (Now I'm hungry!)

Agreed.
