a googly-eyed orange anarchist who became Philadelphia's most beloved chaos agent.
means Showing rough, raw determination and unpolished realism, or literally having the texture of grit — coarse, sandy, abrasive.
from From 'grit,' an old Germanic word for tiny stones and sand — related to Old English 'grēot,' meaning gravel or dust, and a cousin of 'grits' and 'groats.' The literal sense (full of fine, scratchy particles) came first; the figurative sense of stubborn courage emerged later, the idea being that someone with 'grit' has a kind of hard, unyielding texture to their character — they don't crumble.
