* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob''-- in a ShoutOut to ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}},'' Jean is seen grading papers, and one by "Patty" has a Z minus. The paper next to it gets a [[UsefulNotes/ProgrammingLanguage C plus plus.]]

** "XF" or "FF" is a special failing designation used at some universities to show that you failed as a punishment for violating academic integrity, through [[NoFairCheating cheating]] or UsefulNotes/{{plagiarism}}. This is ''quite'' a bit worse than just failing because you don't know the material. Interestingly, this designation was the students' idea -- they didn't want failing for being dumb to be mistaken for failing for being dishonest.

F-plus, due to being a plus grade, would be higher than an F rather than lower than an F.


* In the Music/TenaciousD skit, "Friendship Test", Jack Black tells Kyle that he passed the titular test only barely, granting him the grade of F+.



* There's a T-shirt that reads "F+ student". You can see it [[http://www.zazzle.com/f_student_t_shirt-235350529424621463 here]].

Added DiffLines:

** "0" is about as close to a real-life F-minus as you can get, and it has about the same emotional impact as well. Technically, it's still an "F", but it's regarded differently by both instructors and students. Not doing/completing the assignment at all or completely failing to do anything correctly (or making fundamental mistakes that nobody at that level should make) is how to get a "0" grade, which is a 0%. Some sports blogs that grade team performances often will use this grade as lower than an "F" for when they're exceptionally disappointed in a team's performance.
