lose the plot

Rfv-sense (verb phrase) To have one's results decline severely in quality or suddenly fall below an acceptable standard, especially when compared to past excellence. — Pingku^dimmi 14:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

I think it might be a slight misread of the other two meanings, one can imagine that if a student loses the plot (sense #1 or #2) it might as a consequence lead to lower grades and whatnot, but I wouldn't call it a definition in itself. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:05, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
