proof that fire, meat, and lawn chairs can replace an entire personality
means An outdoor gathering where food is grilled or cooked over fire, usually in a backyard or park.
from A plain English compound of 'cook' and 'out,' meaning simply to cook outdoors — an American coinage that took hold in the early 20th century, riding the same suburban-leisure wave that gave us 'barbecue' as a social verb. 'Cook' itself traces back through Old English 'cōc' to Latin 'coquus,' a cousin of 'kitchen' and 'cuisine.'
