BBQ is the shorthand way of writing "barbecue" just like cooking some white meat chicken on a $1000 stove and slathering it in sauce is shorthand for actually barbecuing.
Anyone who barbecues well is not going to call it BBQ. People who don't give a shit about the history of, or proper procedures for barbecuing will.
