Cookout
Significado: An outdoor meal where food is cooked on a grill, similar to a barbecue.
A 'cookout' is an informal outdoor gathering centered on grilling food. In America, cookouts are synonymous with summer, the Fourth of July, and backyard socializing. While 'cookout' and 'barbecue' are often used interchangeably, some regions distinguish them — in the South, a barbecue involves slow-smoked meat, while a cookout means grilling burgers and hot dogs.
