A made-up word, spread through tool-teardown videos, for the bite or friction a surface gives. Serrated vise jaws, knurled handles, rubber feet on a tool and a fresh sanding belt all have good gription; worn tires and oily floors do not. It is used precisely because the official words sound too stiff.
Heard on the job
