Below par

This idiom comes from the sport of golf. Native English speakers will say if a product or service isn't up to standard, or someone isn't feeling or doing very well, they are "below par".

Example

(A) What did you think of those dollar frozen dinners?

(B) They were all starch and food coloring. They were really below par.
