grinders

Lengthy deli sandwiches

Grinders are teeth, especially the molars used for chewing: My back grinders are killing me.

A grinder is also a tool or machine that grinds—a meat grinder, coffee grinder, or angle grinder.

In parts of the northeastern United States, a grinder is a submarine sandwich.

In skateboarding and video games, grinders are those who repeat tasks to build skill or accumulate rewards through persistent effort rather than talent.
