Axe, or Lynx, is a Unilever-owned brand of men's deodorant, body spray. Popular with teens and desperate adult men who don't have the sense and/or money to buy a quality cologne.
AXE Body spray is complete fecal matter! This vile substance makes me literally physically ill! My room mate sprays on 1/4 of a can every time he uses it. I don't know whats in this "stuff," but I spend the rest of the night with an upset stomach and a headache. Ive told him repeatedly that any woman of class and substance would appreciate a fine cologne. I wish more females would speak up about their dislike of this body spray. It might convince more guys that they smell like vomit while wearing it! Wake up guys! their commercials are a marketing lie! Do you want to convince a female that your worth while? Try a $40 or more cologne, shower, and brushing your grimy teeth and tongue.
To have a grievance with someone, especially where one feels the need to seek damaging retribution.
The phrase probably originates from the act of sharpening an axe with a grinding wheel, with the intent (in this definition) to get revenge on someone by maiming or killing them. ;)
"Five years ago that guy stole my idea for an invention and made tons of money off it! I've had an axe to grind with him ever since. My latest invention will put him out of business for sure, you'll see! Muwahahahaha!!"
The headache that occurs when a large amount of axe deoderant is sprayed in the vicinity of other people.
Matt: Dude I hate changing for gym. That fat smelly kid always sprays himself with a whole bottle of axe. My head always starts to pound.
Dave: Man you got that axe headache bro.
