Dan, I'm sorry. But, I can't help it, if you can't read my mind.;-)
"Grinds my gears" is a catch-phrase from the animated cartoon, "The
Family Guy." Needess to say, I need to keep in mind that not everyone
is a fan of Adult Swim and, hence, a bare reference to [AS] is not
going to be recognized as intended-to-be humorous by everyone.
My apologies.
