grindstone 

Object of toil. The burden each man carries when he is taking care of his business.

I keep my head to the grindstone during the day to pay for my lady's shoes and the kids' piano lessons.

But at night I leave that grindstone alone, let the kids practice their lessons in their rooms and let my lady, booty to the bed, lift her heels to show me the fruits of my labor.

Groundstop

A game played on a playground in which one person is "it," and he/she navigates said playground with his/her eyes CLOSED. Other players have to avoid being tagged, and if they are tagged they become "it." Also, players that are not it CAN step on the ground, but if the person who is it calls "groundstop!" and someone is on the ground, that person is it.

2 ways to get "it:"
-be tagged
-get "groundstop" called on you while on the ground

Let's play some fucking groundstop<3333
