Default Re: What didn't you know until recently?

That 'broiling' is an old English term for what we basically now refer to as grilling (thanks for the heads-up, Dickens), and not a term Americans irritatingly made up as I'd previously assumed. And they use the it to refer specifically to heating from above, reserving 'grilling' for heating from below.
