Gradiated

The process of graduating highschool/college/university based upon physical merit alone.
A diploma by proxy.

While Joe was unable to pass any of his high school courses, the local college wanted him so badly that he was gradiated so that he might attend.

gradiate

The unofficial verb of gradient, often used in image manipulation.

If you create landscape pictures, you'll need to gradiate sunsets to make them look realistic.

Gradiate

A made-up word used in music, specifically brass bands, which combines graduate, grade and possibly radiate, though the historical accuracy of this is yet to be confirmed. Normally used to describe dynamics.

"Basses, please gradiate that crescendo. I don't want you to peak too soon." (Beurgh)
