I think of griddle as different than frypan, but maybe that's just me. I do the same with caramel/carmelizing/carmelization.
Grinder is New England area, I heard it some in NY, there it was more often a hero instead of sub or hoagie though.
I've seen it in SPN, NCIS, Teen Wolf, all American fandoms. There doesn't seem to be as big an interest in Americhecking as Britchecking like there was in Doctor Who/Torchwood and in Sherlock. There are some phrases that just throw me out of fics, although most I can just wince and go with it.
(The best is the term used for what we call potted plant. I've seen it as plant pot but somewhere calls it a pot plant... which is really not the same thing here.)
