Is step grandparent a real word?

No, the word step grandparent is a bad word. It disrespects yourself, your GRANDPARENT and your entire family for that matter. The term step-grandparent describes someone who marries a grandparent after your parent is born, so a person who is stepparent to your parent. It is not widely used but is a perfectly acceptable descriptive word.
