grunting

Gutteral vocalisation often used in the Death metal scene, and all related musical directions. It's also called 'growling'.
There's understandable growls such as in some Opeth songs, and growls that aren't understandable, just listen to some early Cannibal Corpse songs or something like that.
Growling is done by pushing air with your diaphragm. Allot of people think they can growl by just yelling or talking and then pushing together their throat, but all they're gonna do is mess up their throat and vocal chords. The only correct way is to use your diaphragm.
You can try to bark like a rottweiler right? Like a low, growling and short but powerfull *woof*. Practise that.
Now if you do that, but start *woofing* 1, 2, 3, 4, or A, B, C, D, etc you will start how to use those low *barks* for words. Another way to explain it is that sometimes when you're tired you can create a really loud and raspy sigh. It'll sound distorted and low, but it won't hurt your throat (just like the barks). That's because you use your diaphragm!
Try to control that, use your diaphragm, form words and that way you can start to learn how to growl (or 'grunt').
The highth of your adams apple and the way you shape your mouth and your tongue placement determine the highth of your gutteral vocals.
Styles of growling/grunting:
Low growling; listen to: Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten
High Growling/Screaming; listen to: Children of Bodom - Needled 24/7
Low screaming; listen to; Cannibal Corpse - Make Them Suffer
High screaming; listen to; Chimaira - Pure Hatred or some Nasum song.

Gruning

Having sex and dancing at the same time. Derived from sexual mating practices of grunion. Grunion are known for their very unusual mating ritual. At very high tides the females come up on sandy beaches and dig their tails into the sand to lay their eggs. A male then wraps himself around the female to deposit his sperm. For the next ten days the grunion eggs remain hidden in the sand, but at the next set of high tides the eggs hatch and the young grunion are washed out to sea
I was gruning all night at prom with my date.

This can either dramatically lower your enjoyment, or raise it far higher than it should be.

"Nice! What did you think of Story?"
"What? Oh I don't give a shit. I was just Game-Grumping."
