Gail Simone's run explains this as a reference to the fact that he has "grunge under his fingernails", although Roxy provides a LampshadeHanging with the comment "Grunge? You mean the stuff dinosaurs have on their iPods?"

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:The fact he never acts perverted towards Roxy despite the clear interest they have in each other, and his overall refusal to have sex with her, are due to Lynch heavily brainwashing Grunge to ensure he ''never'' has sex or does anything with Roxy. This might've accidentally amplified his perverted tendencies towards every other woman, considering the mental block would've put more focus on anyone who wasn't Roxy to keep him occupied.]]

* ObfuscatingStupidity: There is the occasional hint that Grunge is smarter than he lets on, though this Depends Heavily On The Writer. The original writing team of Brandon Choi and J. Scott Campbell had him mostly as The Ditz, but occasionally displaying some surprising Hidden Depths. Adam Warren's Grunge, however, is pretty much exactly as stupid as he appears — whereas Gail Simone's Grunge is directly stated to be the most intelligent member of the team, just acting the carefree fool as a means of rebellion.
