An F grade that is almost a D, but is still an F. Indicates some effort in a class. It is almost passing, therefore respectable; as oppsed to a 13% F that is beyond redemption.
Person 1: Did you get an F?
Person 2: Yeah, but it is an respectable F. Almost at a D.
Person 1: You're lucky. I got a 12%. I'm screwed.
