Same here, so I eliminated the choices for one that seemed more in line with 
what they were referencing. And *that* is proof that standardized multiple 
choice tests don't always measure intelligence.  And as for racial factors: 
d'you think white folks would remember "grinding" as either working hard, or 
making coffee??  :)

-------------- Original message -------------- 
The video game question tripped me up. Back in the day, "grinding" 
didn't refer to a video game activity; there weren't any video games 
back in the 60's. "Grinding" referred to a style of slow-dancing we 
all loved and enjoyed. (Hahaha!)
