Or perhaps, when at an afterparty at somebody's house, he/she decides to cuss someone their hardest down the phone, in front of people he/she has yet to make a "good 1st impression" with....and that you have yet to introduce.
You would expect to use this expression like this:
You: "Sorry about them..he/she is a social hand grenade. Most of the time in public, he/she is fine but it only takes someone to pull the pin and thats it...he/she will go off in your face!"

A semtex grenade is the fat ugly heffer who will not let go.
The night after the grenade has been jumped by the unfortunate, it may develop into the semtex grenade (a sticky explosive made notorious by modern warfare 2) where the said grenade will not desist in contacting the grenade jumper via social networking sites or by phone.
The main objective of the semtex grenade is to bombard the grenade jumper with these texts, phonecalls and emails, into furthering the meaningless one night stand towards a more meaningful relationship.

Get the Semtex Grenade mug.According to Bud Light advertising officials, to fall on the grenade means to choose the more intellectual of the two scantily clad, leggy, voluptious super models cast to play bicurious friends opposite you and your equally unattractive, slightly overweight beer drinking cohort. Forcing you to sit and drink bud light whilst tuning out the dull, empowered, feminist rambling of the prude, abercrombie wearing, never-going-to-fuck-you hottie, while your buddy drinks bud light and dances his way into the looser hottie's panties. The intellectual one is always wearing glasses. Still you have a chance to possibly fuck the prude if you feign interest and agree to every fucking thing she says, but do you want to? Make sure not to drink too much bud light, no matter how long this bitch rambles on. You must be conscious to get the fuck out of there after she falls asleep or you're in for a hellish morning after.
Jim met Judy and Betty at the bar and bought them each bud lights so the responsibility fell on me to fall on the grenade and work for my pussy.
