Grammar
A WHOLE LOT
Dear Teachers,
1. Does "Thanks a whole lot" mean "Thanks a lot"? and is this common?
2. He's now just 23, and he really doesn't feel that he's some grandpa, you know?
- "He's some grandpa" means "he's pretty old", right?
3. First we have "freshman", then "sophomore", and in the fourth year we have "senior", so what do we call a "third year student"? and are these words applied to both college and university?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.

When I was a child, I used to hear the term "thanks a whole bunch" with some frequency, and this would seem to be a variation. I believe it is a colloquialism from the southern US.
Never heard the term "some grandpa." Your interpretation makes sense.
Third year students are "juniors," and the term also applies to US high schools, which frequently have four years of study.
