One who is overly enthusiastic for technological advantage derived from equipment, accessories, or wardrobe, especially in one who's underlying fundamental proficiency is clearly lacking.
"Besides price, my main hesitation (in sporting a Speedo LZR Racer Swimsuit a la Multi-Gold Medalist Olympian Michael Phelps) would be looking like a gear-happy jackass on the pool deck at a meet." -- Sara Dickerman, writing for Slate on Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2008

A redneck who's greatest aspiration in life is to dig to china by doing a burnout in his yard. Gear grinders can often be found drinking Red Bull, slamming beers, and listening to David Allen Coe. Gear grinders worship engine noise and often have so much horsepower they leave half their tires on the road. Gear grinders love trucks, big tires, and unnecessarily high suspension. A gear grinder is at home in the mud but will cause as much trouble on the road as they will off it.
A truck driver that wins the lottery will inevitably quit his job to become a full time gear grinder.
Gear grinders speak an unintelligible mix of drunk redneck and gibberish.
Gear grinders are often found in the Deep South especially Texas, Alabama, and North Carolina. Gear grinders rarely venture north where they will be criticized for flying confederate flags but they have been spotted as far north as the farming areas of Maryland.

When you have a large sum of gold, particularly in D & D, but are still scared of losing gear.
Players with gear fear may spend a majority of their time scamming other players and "flipping" in the trade channels rather than playing the game.

I have 65k gold, but won't play ranked "high-roller" mode. Would rather kill noobs in normal mode, so my gear will stay safe! Don't you know I have a severe case of gear fear...
