That sounds like the kind of phrase I would use as a mild joke while hanging out with someone. It's my sense of humor sometimes to be intentionally fancy because it sounds pretentious.
- loxs 5y agoSomeone please tell me what's the correct way of saying this
- fennecfoxen 5y ago"edge of the barbecue"
- loxs 5y agoUh, I would never say "edge", as for me the edge is the absolute end where it would fall off (also not a native speaker). Periphery is very natural and "the side" is probably how I would say this (as I realise that periphery probably does sound awkward). TIL
- kuang_eleven 5y agoAs is general true in English, there are a lot of idiomatic ways to say the same thing. I would probably say to move them "off to the edge" or just "to the edge". Confusingly, "off the edge" would not be correct, that would mean pushing them onto the ground!
- BrandoElFollito 5y agoWouldn't you say "on the side"?
- pessimizer 5y agoAlmost never. I wouldn't even assume that a grill had a "side", I'd think it was just as likely to be round. I'd say "edge." Native speaker.
