1. Grinds

   In Ireland, grinds are private tuition; a major industry in Ireland, particularly at secondary school level. In 2012, the Office of the Revenue Commissioners launched an investigation into a perceived failure of some teachers to declare extra income from giving grinds for tax purposes. The teachers' union ASTI denied that this is a widespread problem. Some schools such as Ashfield College, Bruce College, Institute of Education, Leinster Senior College, and Yeats College which offer the Leaving Certificate as a single year (repeat) course are called grind schools. A study in 2020 indicated the students from Irish-speaking post primary schools and grind schools had strong chances to progressing to further education but were significantly less likely to finish their course or achieve a 2:1 degree or greater compared to students from secondary schools.

1. Grinds

   In skateboarding, Grinds are tricks that involve the skateboarder sliding along an object using the trucks of a skateboard rather than the wheels. Grinds can be performed on any object narrow enough to fit between wheels and are often performed on the coping of a skate ramp, a purpose-built "grind box", step, ledge or horizontally-positioned pole. Grinding is damaging to materials which are not hardened for the specific purpose of the sport, as may be found in a skate park. The trucks are a composed of a hard metal without lubricant or bearings on the grinding surface, so they literally do grind on the objects they slide across. Grinding can strip paint off of steel and wear down the edges of concrete, stone, aluminum, and wood building materials. Grinding in public places may be seen as a form of vandalism and may cause skateboarding to be banned by business owners and city ordinances.
