meat grinder
Makes ground beef
A meat grinder is a device that forces meat through small holes to produce ground meat.
The mechanism—a screw pushing material through a perforated plate—extends to any situation that relentlessly processes people or things: The war became a meat grinder, The corporate meat grinder chews up young employees.
The figurative use emphasizes brutal, mechanized destruction or exhaustion.
