I think this is the best description of grubbies . I really don't remember what I call them . I asked my wife and she said I call them that . But once they are to that state , I don't wash them anymore. I will probably put them on again till the nasty job at hand is done. Like automatic transmission replacement. Then they are known a burn pile starters .
Those and A Tire or Two..
Will get Any Damp/ Green Tree Brush Pile to Start !!

this also informs why I've never pursued a career in film - my clothes are only good for one thing but I'm not good enough at that for it to be a consideration.Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; September 5, 2022, 09:49 PM.

My takeaway from all of this is that "grubbies" must be a Yankee word. Or perhaps just a niche coined word because I spent a lot of months working in Michigan and never heard that word. Well, I've never heard it anywhere until now, right here on BS. And why do they call it a coined word anyhow? Now I'm gonna have to go look that up, the cultural history of the coined word "coined," as used to describe a word or phrase.
