grade inflation

(n.) What goes on at Harvard. See Harvard.

A Harvard University report last spring complained of grade inflation that makes it easier to get high grades. Now the academic dean, Susan Pedersen, has released data showing that 49 percent of undergraduate grades were A's in 2001, up considerably from 23 percent in 1986.

Gradually Watermelon

This is what you get when you put Shape Of You by Ed Sheeran through google translate... Fame, fortune and a whole lot of ten year olds singing "Gradually Watermelon" over and over again at the top of their lungs.

Kid 1: Did you see the new shirt that Malinda Kathleen Reese released yesterday?

Kid 2: Ya! Last time she sold the gradually watermelon shirt my parents told me they wouldn't buy it, but now I have a job!

Kid 3(me): I heard about that! I wish I had a job so I could buy it in the re-release...

Grade Grubber

Someone who feels the need to have a better score than anyone else in the known (and perhaps unknown) universe. If someone gets a higher score, the grade grubber seeks an immediate answer to the question of why s/he does not have the highest, bestest, prettiest score, most colorful star, or brightest happy face sticker, and thus proceeds to not shut up about it for 12 days until the next grade issue arises.

Jenny is a grade grubber.

grades

Either a letter, check mark, or numerical percentage, awarded to students to serve as an arbitrary means of evaluating one’s academic performance regarding various scholarly subjects and thus assessing one’s comparative worth against his/her pupils. Grades originated out of social necessity through individuals who were too stupid to recognize whether or not someone had any intellectual value without a universal standard to measure by.

The most stupid example of grades is the minus/plus system, which penalizes the achievers and rewards the slackers.
