I cannot figure this one out:
"My kid can roost your honor student."
"Roost?" "ROOST???" WTF does that mean? I can't find anything about what the saying means.
And no, it wasn't "roast." It was definitely "roost."

Maybe the school mascot had something to do with birds. The Roosevelt Junior High Fighting Ghost Chickens, or something.

okay beats me...

It might have something to do with that sense, but the way it's used makes no sense.

Seems like it'd be a lot clearer to just have one saying "My kid rides dirt bikes but sucks at school."

See, now what I saw was just the words in a window decal. There was no picture of a dirtbike. Had there been a picture of a dirtbike, I probably could've figured out that it was connected to dirtbike slang. It's still would've been stupid and confusing to most people, but at least it would've had a modicum of context.
