Oh, and let's go grill.
It doesn't piss me off as such, but when we're doing a bbq (barbecue) it's considered grilling.
To me, being an implant over here, I consider grilling as in fish fingers, burgers, sausages done in the top bit of the oven - the grill.
I've mostly got used to the terminology (wait...gotten used to it), but still, when somebody says "grill", I still think of that top of the oven where you flame the food from above.

And no, it IS NOT BROILED!!!!! Broiled is a cross between boiling and grilling (see above for reference).

I just cooked a ribeye on my bbq. Therefore, I just grilled a steak.

From Wiki:
In the United States, when the heat source for grilling comes from above, grilling is termed broiling

Surely the term 'Grill'
comes from the fact that your foodstuffs are cooked on a slatted metal grill to allow the fat to drain off? Regardless of the source of heat?
