The closest Americanism that comes to mind for this term would be "grit", which I think is a bit different as it's more about enduring hardship (or hard work) than actually working hard. I think the word "hussle" is used similarly sometimes.
- gerdesj 8y agoI've definitely come across the word "grifter" as a synonym for someone who defrauds people ("marks") in en_US. "Grit" is a perfectly valid en_GB word meaning the same (enduring hardship.)
