aussiechick, where do you live? Here in the part of Sydney, The Big Smoke, where I have landed, 'barbie' is a noun referred to the instrument upon which meat is grilled, as well as the festive time, either afternoon or evening, when men grill meat and imbibe grog and their borderline to bad behavior is tolerated.
To my knowledge, "footy" refers to all codes of of football: AFL (Aussie Rules), soccer and 'gridiron'(US football).
