According to trivia from www.imdb.com, The film's title comes from the nickname invented by students and staff for detention at New Trier High School, the school attended by the son of one of John Hughes' friends. Thus, those who were sent to detention were designated members of "The Breakfast Club". "The Breakfast Club" at that school probably took its name in turn from the title of American radio's longest running network entertainment show, broadcast from Chicago, 1933 to 1968.

The Breakfast Club is a euphemism for morning detention

Because of the time they came to detention and because there were some who were regularly there. So it was like a club meeting every Saturday morning.

It is named after a detention practice in New Trier High School, in Winnetka, IL, and it was in the morning, which is breakfast time.

That movie is pretty good. It probably means that there were about 5 kids that come in detention in the morning.

Because they had to show up at breakfast time to serve their detention.
