nitty grittyis a term that was used during the slave trade.
when a slave owner got 'bored and frisky' and wanted some back door action, he would use the term 'to go and get down to the nitty gritty', then proceed to go and have his way with whatever he fancied.
having said that, nice picture.

I don't think nitty-gritty has anything to do with slavery.Of course, I'm happy to be corrected if you have a source.

after trying to source it, it would appear to have 2 trains of thoughtneither of which are 100% conclusive, more suggestive, but in the interests of it being friday and almost the weekend, I will bow to your suggestion of non bumming meaning.
