Congrats on Your Gradulations

A message of over enthusiastic, usually alcohol fueled, well wishes when you are trying to over compensate with your Big Guy Energy, while doing your best to relate to someone much younger and more hip than yourself.

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.

gramulating

Sandy, did your daughter have her baby yet. Not yet, I am still gramulating.

granulation

Used by corporate management, this describes the process of extracting data from an information system in order to specify particular elements of a simplified process for cost effectiveness purposes.

The term "granulation" was first recorded in the region which we know now as Belgium, from the well renowned Professor of applied Business Strategy and Nuclear Science Wim Van Den Berghen Pruden to define the descriptive relationship between business and nuclear weapons in 1947.
This data is over-granulated.
is your mother granulating?
Granulation on demand.

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.
