Text | In this podcast, the verb "to grill" means to cook something by putting it on a rack with evenly spaced metal bars held above a source of heat: "Have you ever grilled fresh pineapple? It's delicious!" The verb "to grill" can also mean to ask someone many questions in a short period of time, especially in an aggressive way: "We were shocked to hear Santiago grilling his wife about where she had been and whom she had been with."
