granularity 

Breaking down a process or system into smaller modules to make it more accessible/easier to comprehend.

On the other hand, it also mean over-complicating a simple process to the extent of being anal in the extreme.
Normal Bloke: Here you are Old Lady, let me help you across the road.

Old Lay: Thank you, young man!

Project manager: Now then Normal Bloke, we need more granularity here. Firstly, what road are you referring to? Next, is there any traffic on said road and if so, at what speed is it travelling? We also need to define the camber of the edges and the traction factor of the tarmac under the temperature of the day to ascertain the breaking distance of the road users in case of a Normal-Bloke-Old-Lady-slippage scenario. Next, we need...

Normal bloke: Fuck this, I'm off to Macdonalds.

glandular disorder

Granular synthesis 

Granular Synthesis is the method of dissecting sampled audio or generated sound waves into tiny segments of generally only fifty to few hundred milliseconds. These segments can then be manipulated further. Pitch, duration and delay of grains can usually be edited to attain effects such as a "grain cloud."
Granular synthesis is used to make many reverberating, ambient sound-scapes used in film scoring.

Software Examples:
Audio Ease's RiverRun
KT Granulator
RTGS-X

Granular Vaginitis

An Infantry term for sand in the pussy. Commonly used to describe a soldier who whines about being sick.

Captain addressing his troops: "Private Jones has an acute case of Granular Vaginitis and wont be deploying to the field."
To get overly detailed when describing something or talking about a subject. Breaking things down to the fine grain.
"Did you listen to her describe every insignificant detail of her date last night? Damn, that chick got granular."
