A "report card" is the report that students get from their schools telling parents how well their kids are doing. An "A" is the best grade you can get on a report card.

A common complaint of kids about their parents. We were pulled over. The phrasal verb used when a policeman stops you on the road. The other guy's dads bail them out in two hours.
