When you can’t be a spectator vis-à-vis the world’s most disliked school subject, but you need to be a player to master it—reading or listening about math won’t make you fluent in the subject, but doing math will.
Like Christianity, math is a verb. Just like you can’t impact lives if you merely know about Jesus and His teachings, so reading pop math books without dirtying your hands is unlikely going to raise your quantitative literacy in meeting the technological challenges of the 21st century.

"That guy got slapped into next week by that girl.. Ouch."
"Hey what does <verb> to next week mean?"
"Basically where you overdo something, or do it too well."

To greg someone is to ask them many questions (some would claim an unending barrage of questions) in order to suss out information and get to the root of what's really going on here. The objective of gregging someone is to gain a full understanding, or even enlightenment. There is no shame in gregging someone, especially if others are unwilling to ask the tough questions.
I decided to greg (verb) him about why he needed to buy another DeLorean given that he had owned several in the past and always ended up getting rid of them. I also gregged him on the specifics of how much it cost, why was the owner selling it, where was he going to keep it, is he buying it just to relive his youth one more time, etc... you know, the usual stuff.
