I know that you mean something else, but lifeguards and barbie means something slightly different in American English (i.e. not a food thing).

International English is breaking down

Barbie=barbecue right?

[brimble]

Yeah, that's not obscure in American English, because it's one of a handful of Australian words that've made it into phrases we'll say when we're trying to mimic Australian English, i.e. "throw another shrimp on the barbie".

Except we don't say shrimp: that was translated when Paul Hogan did the advert.
