I wasn't sure what sort of "grip" you were speaking of, so I Googled and this NSFW contraption turned up. PLEASE people; it is against TOU to wish ill on fellow TFTers.I knew before I clicked on this thread that the mere mention of Ilhan Omar would be triggering for some, but damn people. It's not like the OP held her up as some sort of paragon of virtue, get a grip.
Huh? A grip is something to grab to manipulate something, or occasionally the reverse, it grabs something. (Which I guess is the context used in that masochistic contraption.)
I cannot believe that anybody in an English-speaking country who is not ESL does not know what 'get a grip' means.
