grinding gear 

grinding gear - noun
Pronunciation: (grind-ing gear)

Clothes women wear when they go out to the club or a party. Can usually be found at your local "Forever 21" store. Can sometimes can be mistaken as a synonym for "slutty attire". Makes most men lose their mind when they see a woman wearing one. Can also usually lead a man to buying a girl a drink at a club. Typically, women who wear it end up grinding some dude on the dancefloor in the club, hence the term.
"Hey girl! You can make a grown man cry with that grinding gear you got on. Let me buy you a drink!"

"Check out that chick by the bar. DAAAAMMMN! That grinding gear is complementing everything her momma gave her!"
