'bbq' is not an acronym. It is the shortened version of the word barbecue.

bbq is the shortened version of the word and "q" stands for the "cue" in the word.

You could also say that "q" stands for quick. I agree with most answers on this board.

BBQ is an abbreviation. The Q stands for "cue".

The word itself varies in spelling; variations include barbeque, BBQ, and Bar-B-Q. In Australia, the word is often shortened to barbie.

An abbreviation is a letter or group of letters, taken from a word or words, and employed to represent them for the sake of brevity. For example, the word "abbreviation" can be abbreviated as "abbr." or "abbrev."

the spelling "barbeque" is a result of a gradual misunderstanding of the "BBQ" abbreviation. Due to this abbreviation, with the third syllable "-cue" being represented by the identically-sounding letter "Q," people came to believe that the word was spelled "barbeque." This is also evident in viewing the word's TaÃƒÂƒÃ‚Âno roots, with all three variations being spelled with the letter "c," as opposed to "q."

In addition to all of the fine answers above, there a group called BB&Q back in the 80s who made that awesome dance track called "Dreamer"!!! BB&Q then stood for Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens!
