Nitty-Gritty

“Nitty-Gritty” originated in midst of the 18th century slave trade. Ships often carried slaves in the cargo holds below deck and nitty-gritty now means getting to the bottom of it. This is a derogatory reference to the slaves which were held at the bottom of the vessel.

grits

Grits are made from a virtually flavorless grain called HOMMINY (sp?). The blandness results in people dumping large amounts of butter and salt on them. It's really cheap and very popular in the south US.
