below par

Substandard, not acceptable.

If you really think about it, this saying is backwards. In golf, to be below par is good, however in this saying below par means bad. What a crazy world we live in...
Teacher: Your report was well below par, which is why it received an F.
Smart golfer: If it was below par, then why did I get an F? That sounds pretty silly to me.
