    Default On a par with jades

    I would like to ask what the meaning of the above expression is.
    Thanks.

    A jade is an old word meaning : 1 a bad-tempered or disreputable woman. 2 an inferior or worn-out horse.

    Without context for your phrase, it probably means that whatever is being compared is inferior.
