In folklore, the Grim Reaper is a genderless figure (assumedly male) who wears a dark cloak with a hood covering his face, and is renouned for carrying a scythe. It's hands and feet are normally that of a skeleton. Also referred to as Death, the Grim Reaper is said to kill anyone it touches.
In modern day storytelling, the Grim Reaper takes the soul of a person when it is their time to leave the living world. Many people believe Death is a messenger of Satan, but it takes life when it is the person's time, regardless of what happens in their afterlife.
Figuratively speaking, the Grim Reaper is in the gap between life and death, essentially helping people pass from the living world to that of the dead. He is the sign of Death, and his representation is shown on the tarot card for Death.

In the TV Series 'Dead Like Me', the Grim Reaper was infact a group of Reapers who took the souls of those about to die, to spare them the pain of their death and to help them cross to the next world.
Other representations of the Grim Reaper in shows such as 'Family Guy' or 'The Simpsons' show the more traditional counterpart, that his touch can kill instantly.
Many people claim that the representation of the Grim Reaper is seen before a person dies, and takes the soul of the person to lead them to a new place.

The Grim Reaper is a cocktail popularised in early 2011 made with equal parts vodka, gin, tequila and cask wine. The mix is traditionally made with Mishka, Gordon's, 125 and Fruity Lexia respectively.
The ingredients are known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The spirits are meant to be the cheapest possible in order to replicate the authenticity of the Grim Reaper. Variations upon this formula include the Fancy Reaper (expensive spirits and wine), the Bloody Reaper (substitute white goon with red) and the Grim Suicide (3 full bottles in a cask of wine).
Served as four shots straight up in the one glass, usually consumed as quickly as possible for maximum intoxication. Some connoisseurs of the Grim prefer to sip the beverage while curled up next to the fire with a good book. The Grim Reaper also gives way to the drinking game 'Grims Til You Munt'.
The side effects are not well documented, with reports of dizziness, memory loss, feelings of grimness, random acts of extreme violence, unwitting transportation across state borders, death, irate messages and grand larceny.
It is believed that these ingredients are the basis for the drug PCP, weed killer and embalming fluid.
The controversy associated with the Grim is the inability to refuse once the beverage is suggested. Despite the danger, this can lead to a Double Grim and in rare cases a Triple Grim: some claim that Sid Vicious did 7 Grim Reapers before his death, however the evidence is unsubstantiated.

Guy 1: Bro, getting on the Grim Reapers tonight?
Guy 2: Hell yeah, last time I woke up in an acid rave party in the middle of the wilderness and it was off the Richter.

An apparition that appears to be far more reasonable and understanding in Monty Python and the meaning of life than in medievel folklore.
The Grim Reaper poisoned the salmon.
The reaper demanded the newly dead people follow him, so they got in thier cars and drove after him.

A Grim Reaper is the kinky fore-play act of a man doing a handstand, while the female grabs his scrotum, and then pulls it up and over his asshole. Called a Grim Reaper because of the immense pain it causes to the receiving party, while also making a Scythe like motion of the scrotum.
Also called "Getting Grim" or just "The Reaper" for short.
