"The daily grind" was literally Medieval peasants spending hours a day in back breaking labour grinding wheat into course flour so they could make shitty bread. If they were lucky, the lord would own a mill where they could pay some of their meagre income to grind their flour.

The daily grind was fun for the whole family! The miller would often short change the peasants, which is why the name "Miller" is uncommon in England. You wouldn't want to be named after the guy everyone hated because he ripped them off.

I'm sorry: is it currently a thing to claim medieval peasants were "happy"? What??
