* The urban dictionary definitions of this term are terrible. It really means to get in your face about something. “Grill” is a slang term that used to mean those flashy jewel-decorated teeth some people sported; in this usage it refers to teeth in general, which in “up in my grill,” a slang I particularly enjoy, is really a synecdoche. Teeth to represent the whole face, like when we say “her hand in marriage” with “hand” representing the whole person.
