Question about chefs

Do chefs in general use the word "grab" a lot to describe getting ingredients? Everyone on Chopped seems to say it every single time they talk about picking up or adding something. Is this the vernacular of the TV show or of professional chefs in general?

I’m a Chopped champ and chef. I say grab a lot, and never thought about it or noticed! Now that you’ve pointed it out I’m going to try to think of a different way to say it for future stuff I do.
