[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grit was used here in school in the mid-80’s. Referred to the kids wearing jean jackets and into metal, smoking, etc. First heard it in 1983, Springfield here.[/quote] Another Springfielder and we would have used the term "druggies" or "burnouts" to describe the guys and girls wearing jean jackets, metal concert tees, wallet chains, bootie or calf high suede moccasins and often, mullets! Druggie girls added feather earrings, heavy black eyeliner and they hung out at Time Out and the school smoking lounge. Good times, circa 1984. Ever seen the documentary Heavy Metal Parking Lot? I recognize a druggie girl from my high school...[/quote]
