Hi,
I'm confused what exactly the "fall of the card" means in this sentence. Pls help.
"Although my sister's grade didn't fall of the card, she turned around enough to stay in school."
Thank you.

Thank you.
In this sentence, "fall off the card" implies that the grade was a low one. It is similar to the expression "off the end of the scale".
Thank you Red5.
You're welcome. Perhaps someone else will give you some other ideas or expand on my post.
Welcome to the forum! :hi:
:x-mas:
I have no iodea whether it's BE only, or if it exists in AmE. TDOL may know. ;-)Quote:

(Pay no attention to this. I am only putting this post here because I didn't like the way it looked in the other place. (Red, you are too fast.))
:wink:
I must confess that the expression is new to me. ;-)
That's a good point. It's a first for me. Thanks! :DQuote:
