Third Degree

A term derived from Freemasonry in which a member, in order to attend Masonic meetings, would have to pass an examination proving he is a Third Degree or Master Mason. The term has been popularized by Masons but has been adapted and loosely applied to nearly anything that requires an examination or questioning, particularly when the questioning is intensive.

I went out last night and when I got home, my girlfriend gave me the third degree.
