tone-grade

To improve the tone of an electric guitar or bass by upgrading its components, such as pickups, electronics, hardware, or shielding. The goal is to enhance clarity, warmth, responsiveness, or character.

"Swapped in a new wiring harness and upgraded the bridge — full tone-grade mode."
"You don’t need a new guitar, you just need to tone-grade the one you’ve got."

College Grade Intelligence

A psuedo-intellectual person who thinks their degree gives them a higher level of ability or social status.

They will often look down on people without a degree (or those who don't declare their degree) even though their distinct lack of experience leads then to make more mistakes than any person they consider below them.

See "man child" or "bad boss"

That project failed, huh?

Yeah, Jill's college grade intelligence messed everything up again.

17th grade

Your first year of graduate school. It's called 17th grade because you have gone through 12 years of compulsory education and four years of undergraduate education at this point.

I start medical school tomorrow. I can't wait for my first day of 17th grade!
