What does Grill really mean?

Grill is a word that we often use to talk about cooking delicious food, especially outside on a warm sunny day. When we talk about grilling, we usually mean cooking food on a special device called a grill, which typically has a metal grate where you place the food. Now, imagine you want to cook some juicy hamburgers or sizzling hot dogs. Instead of using the stove or the oven inside your house, you decide to take the cooking outside and fire up the grill. You place the burgers or hot dogs on the metal grate, and then something amazing happens!

The flames from the fire underneath the grate start to come up and kiss the food, giving it a wonderful smoky flavor. The heat from the fire cooks the food, making it nice and tender. There might even be some sizzling and crackling sounds as the food starts to cook. It's a little bit like when we toast a marshmallow over a campfire and it gets all golden and gooey, only with burgers or hot dogs instead.

But wait, that's not all the word "grill" can mean! Sometimes, when we say someone is getting grilled, it doesn't mean they are getting cooked like hamburgers. Instead, it means they are getting asked a lot of tough and intense questions. It's like when someone is being interviewed by reporters, and those reporters keep asking them question after question, trying to get all the information they can. So, if someone tells you that they got grilled at school today, it means that they were asked a lot of tough questions, maybe during a test or by their teacher.

So, to sum it all up, "grill" can mean cooking delicious food outside on a special device with flames and heat, giving the food a mouthwatering flavor. It can also mean when someone is getting asked a lot of tough questions, just like in an intense interview.
