Default help settle this

Me and some friends were getting into it last night and this morning over what word goes with this definition/description.

If you ask a person a whole bunch of questions, are you:

grilling them

or

drilling them

????????????????


Two of us say grilling, the other two say drilling. Which is it? Settle this for us!

Drilling them would be if you are testing them on their skills....like running them through drills.

You are wrong.

2. To torture or afflict as if by broiling.
3. Informal To question relentlessly; cross-examine.

They are both very subjective terms, literarily speaking. Either is acceptable, and basically interchangeable when speaking of interrogating someone.

I consider drilling means you're trying to teach, "I'm gonna drill this into you if it kills me!"
After all, they're not called grill sergeants.

"I'd like mine rare, please!"
