I see these are tough! Koala, Michele, manxman and Marian thumbsup

All of the final answers are right but some building blocks are a bit shaky

Joan, take a look at the 4th part. This is a crossword type clue meaning what comes before UV
Lex, when you rank something such as eggs, you do this to them
ScarletDragon, I'm looking for a slang word for an insult or someone being disrespectful. My word starts with the same letter in the word you have

I knew that part was not correct, but the only thing I could come up with before UV was S and that didn't work.
Hoped you wouldn't notice. lol

Thanks Redz: still took me a while as our school terminology is not the same... 8. grade = rank grin

(mind you I should have worked it out earlier, especially once I had Cue's hint)

I think all we have left is the third word to justify 7, and ScarletDragon is not biting: I might have gone with hiss, but Cue's hint suggests diss (as in disrespect) smile
