Grillz

Martin
[writing an email to Omar]
Yo man, sorry to be all up in your grille yesterday --

Um...do you mean grill? G-R-I-L-L?

Martin
[speaking in patronizing manner]
No, a grill is what you cook on. A grille - with an e - is the front-end of the car, and so when you put grilles in your mouth, it's like the front-end of your face. That's all up in your grille.

Michelle
Dude! How about The Capital Grille then huh? That's spelled with an E. It's a restaurant.

Martin
Maybe it's for cars.

Michelle
A restaurant for CARS?!

Martin
Look at the definition for grille from Merriam-Webster!

Michelle
When you Google "up in your grille" - they ASK if you mean "up in your grill." OOOOH, who's right now!!!

Martin
But a grill is like a barbecue grill. How does that make any sense?!

Michelle
Because it's like you're cooking at the barbecue, and someone comes over and tries to tell you how to cook the steak, and you're like, DUDE - stop getting all up in my grill! Why don't you go cook over there?!

Martin
What?!?!

Michelle
Yeah! Who's right now?!?!! OOOOOOOH.

According to Nelly, the correct spelling for those diamond teeth appendages/retainers is grillz. I'm still convinced its "up in your grill." Martin, of course, being a man, refuses to believe that he is wrong and thinks it's "up in your grille" when really, that's way too sophisticated of a spelling to be used as a retort.
