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.

badass grinding

1.) V. When someone gains significantly noticeable levels of badassness (see. take a level in badass) as if almost overnight or within a short period of time. Taken from modern gaming in the styles of herding or grinding to gain experience points to level up multiple levels. It's badass gain on overdrive. Quite simply put, it means when someone takes multiple levels in badassness.
1.) What happened to Bill over the summer? It's like he went from pussy geek to instant badass.

2.) Yeah, I hear he's joined a UFC gym, and has been doing some badass grinding ever since he got pantsed in front of the whole school late last year.

Grinding

A dance where you grind your hips against someone else's. Typically used by couples.
"Want to grind?" Your boyfriend asks you.

Getting horny, you reply, "Yes."
You start to grind your hips against his, and you can feel his penis bulge. It pokes through his pants to your vagina, and you let out a moan. He starts grinding harder, and his penis is kind of slamming your vulva at this point. You feel your orgasm coming - really? At the school dance? All of a sudden, you feel something wet in your pants. Your orgasm. From grinding
