Ryan’s Phrase Of The Day: Not Up To Scratch

Meaning: Not good

enough, inadequate

Example (1): “Despite studying Spanish for a few months now my level is definitely not up to scratch. My spoken Spanish is horrendous!”

Example (2): “All I want is a super hot guy with a totally awesome personality and big, bulging muscles but all the guys I date are totally not up to scratch. Like, what’s up with that? What’s a girl supposed to do?! Ahh, I hate my life!”

See ya!
