grunt
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 :-)

Grunt is an acronym used during
WW2 for troops who had no formal training, or skills. G-general, R-replacement, UNT-untrained,...

A front-line soldier.
A grunt is anyone, regardless of rank, who digs his or her own
foxhole, performs front-line tasks, handles live weapons and ordnance and duties in
combat zone and risks his or her life.
The opposite of grunt is
REMF (Rear-Echelon Motherfucker), a desk job military person off the combat zone. If the definition of a grunt is one who digs his own foxhole, a REMF is anyone who sleeps between clean sheets.

The noise one makes when entering work and acknowledging co-workers. The grunt is understood between the two, and is usually stands for "fuck,
another day at this
shitty place!"
Example:
When I saw
Fred as I walked into hell...I mean work, we looked at each other and
grunted. He must be
disgruntled too.

little dog-like aliens in Halo that is used as

humerous to kill them in mass.
