out of your pay grade

out of your league, your level of authority or your ability.

To tell someone that they are out of their pay grade is to say that they are flunkies who are in over their head.
1) "Well, detective, there are matters at stake here that are a little bit above your pay grade. No offense."

2) "You're asking questions way out of your pay grade."

Grade 13er

A student who enters college with the expectation that it will be a continuation of high school -- grade 13, if you will. Unprepared, unwilling, and unmotivated are just a few words they subscribe to. The concept of learning repulses and bores them; classes are so much better when answers are served on a silver platter.
Suzy: Man, I hate my college professor. He expects us to study and apply ourselves to our work!

Mark: Quit being a Grade 13er, Suzy. This is college.

Gravelgold

place. neglected, forlorn former gold-mining town located where Alaska, British Columbia and the Yukon Territory intersect. Since the placer deposits played out in 1899 it is no longer large enough or robust enough to be officially a town. It is, in fact, currently struggling to retain its hamlet status.

Novelty stores selling fool's gold to tourists, several petting zoos featuring wounded native fauna, a convalescent hospital featuring wounded natives, a used book store and a combination first-aid staion and bicycle repair shop can be found in the optimistically-named downtown area. A knick-knack maintenance facility is slated to open out by the abandoned Malaprop Mine in 2013.

Currently gravel production is the major industry with most of the heavy work being done by the local rivers and glaciers. Sorting, bagging and marketing is done through a co-operative association in conjunction with the Canadian Gravel Board.

Although there is currently no highway into the area a variety of cutlines and logging trails provide access and egress for ATV enthusiasts while a landing strip on the river accomodates tourists in bush-planes, who mostly come for the Northern Lights Fiesta and stay for the the abandoned mines where groups of chilly kids are often trapped.

A good variety of sports such as pond hockey, river hockey and lake hockey keep the locals amused. A school is in the planning stages and amateur theatrics are staged at the Generals Store most month-ends.
Never mind Anchorage. This weekend we should visit Gravelgold. We could maybe go to a petting zoo and visit that cantankerous author who lives in the woods near there.

Have you had a Rabies shot?

No, but he has ... so we should be safe.
