I'm curious too. So, I'm here 🙃.
I checked online and saw "Be a pain in the neck, "Drive me nuts", and "a pain in the ass".

Oh, ok. You're right about the acronym. Is that preposition "on" unnecessary? I've found the expression "to grate on the nerves" in the dictionary as well...https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/grate
Maybe ‘register’ is a bit too specific (but correct): it’s a technical term in linguistics.

"grate my nerves" sounds wrong to me, I only recall using and seeing "grates on my nerves" 🤔
And it would be "idioms are"/"idiom is"... I haven't heard of that use of "register" before so probably wouldn't use it unless you're talking to linguistic nerds
