The point in a large corporation at which you cannot proceed up the ladder for lack of an ivy league degree. Talent will not take you past this point, only your pedigree and connections. It's one of the few ceilings that you can see; it looks like the incompetent, but connected assholes in the c-suites.
I hit the ivy ceiling. He was a pudgy fat ass, and it felt good.

Discriminatory barrier keeping a certain class of people out of an upper echelon of American government.
( No, not a "certain class." As the first female speaker of the house she was specifically talking about women. They were the original victims in the term "glass ceiling." )
Distinguished from a glass ceiling because not only is this class prevented from rising to the next level, they cannot even see what is going on up there.
( LOL NO, not even close. It's because there's a shit ton of marble in the capitol building, not because she randomly pulled marble out of her ass to use as an example of an opaque material. )
GJ UD for putting an obviously ignorant interpretation as the definition of the day! DURRRRRRR

A level within the managerial hierarchy beyond which very few women and minorities advance.
Women and minorities have had problems winning promotions to senior management positions due to the glass ceiling.

A barrier (real or perceived) that prevents a team or individual from reaching the pinnacle of a respective sport.
Members of college football conferences that are not members of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) are often left out of major bowl bids (see: Utah). That's a real barrier (BCS rules favor greatly teams from BCS conferences) that does not preclude participation, per se, but the obstacles are significant.
Also a phenomenon evidenced when a really decent program (e.g., college football) can not seem to make the transition to a national and/or perennial powerhouse due to self-imposed barriers. Virginia Tech, for example, fails each year to be considered in the same category as USC, Texas, and Oklahoma, teams that have won many national championships. The barrier is a failure to acknowledge and resolve internal staff issues (primarily, the offensive coordinator) which leads to a general perception by the players that they can't play at the Tier 1 level. In this case, the coaching staff has created a "grass ceiling" through which the players can not progress.
