A Lower Second Honours for a university degree. Also known as 2:2, hence twotwo, tutu. An euphemistic neologism invented by debz, because she is ashamed of her failure.
The ranking system is as follows (from highest to lowest):
Starred First
Class Honours
First
Class Honours
Upper Second Class Honours
Lower Second Class Honours
Third Class Honours
Fail
In a way, getting a "tutu" is a lot worse than getting a third or a fail. In order to get a third, you
will need to have done absolutely no
work all year, and turn up to the exam and scribble a few incoherent sentences. To fail, you need to do no
work all year, smoke lots of pot, get drunk before the exam, and turn up to the exam and hand in blank sheets of
paper, or not turn up at all. Getting a tutu means that you tried, but you are just completely retarded.
