Referring to US Marine Corps Infantry personnel. GRUNTS are anyone with the MOS beginning with 03 as in 0311 (Riflemen). The term originating during World War II to abbreviate the term "Ground Reinforcements Untrained," referring to tons of troops being sent to combat with little training. The term has taken on a more affectionate meaning for our killers in the Marine Corps Infantry today. The term GRUNT also refers to those doing their time commitments and getting out during the Vietnam War; as opposed to Lifers who were career Marines. The term POG is the opposite meaning "Personnel Other than Grunt"
Army dude: Man you GRUNTS are tough! Marine GRUNT: Stay out of our way before you catch one between the eyes ya damn Hoo-Ah If John Wayne was a Marine he'd be a fuckin' GRUNT. POG: Damn I have so much paper work to do GRUNT: Stop bitchin' you fuckin' POG

Grunts do it better! Those fuckin' grunts are cocky.
The term "grunt" is used in the military as a general term for someone who's MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) is "Infantry". In the Marine Corps all MOS' preceeded by the number "03" are Infantry. About as "grunt" as you can get in the Corps is "0311 - Basic Rifleman". The opposite of a "grunt" is a "pougue", which is a derogatory reference to pretty much anyone who isn't a grunt, but normally reserved for Marines who work in an office or some other rear-echelon job as part of their regular duties ("In the rear with the gear"). Call a pougue a "grunt" and they love it, but call a grunt a "pougue" and see what happens :-)
"If you ain't a grunt you ain't SHIT" "The grunts at Phase Line Echo report multiple hostiles, scattered small-arms fire and are currently engaging." "The fuckin' grunts always come to our E-Club and start shit."
Gutteral vocalisation often used in the Death metal scene, and all related musical directions. It's also called 'growling'. There's understandable growls such as in some Opeth songs, and growls that aren't understandable, just listen to some early Cannibal Corpse songs or something like that. Growling is done by pushing air with your diaphragm. Allot of people think they can growl by just yelling or talking and then pushing together their throat, but all they're gonna do is mess up their throat and vocal chords. The only correct way is to use your diaphragm. You can try to bark like a rottweiler right? Like a low, growling and short but powerfull *woof*. Practise that. Now if you do that, but start *woofing* 1, 2, 3, 4, or A, B, C, D, etc you will start how to use those low *barks* for words. Another way to explain it is that sometimes when you're tired you can create a really loud and raspy sigh. It'll sound distorted and low, but it won't hurt your throat (just like the barks). That's because you use your diaphragm! Try to control that, use your diaphragm, form words and that way you can start to learn how to growl (or 'grunt'). The highth of your adams apple and the way you shape your mouth and your tongue placement determine the highth of your gutteral vocals.
