Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
..what’s all this talk about some people being no going by birth, and others being very good by birth, and others being fair to middling by birth? (Saroyan’s “The Adventure of Wesley Jackson” chapter 74)
fair to middling = undistinguished, poor, mean, bellow par
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V
