desperation mode 

Desperation mode is a state in which many unsuccessful Tinder users find themselves in typically on a Friday night, when they once again find themselves alone and without a date. In an attempt to increase their odds on this "matching" app, they basically swipe right or select every single person, regardless of age, appearance or gender. This ultimately increases their overall chances of someone expressing an interest in them, therefore alleviating any feelings of loneliness or rejection. When in "desperation mode," people may exhibit erratic emotions, signs of physical or verbal desperation, sweating and even crying.

"Man, look at Mike go tonight...he is in serious desperation mode; he really needs to get laid."

desperascorn

Noun: The emotional conflict created when a desperation to get laid is thwarted by a scornful attitude towards the only available sexual candidates.

Not to be confused with the despericorn, a mythical creature that is super hot & clever but will bang your sorry self anyway and not treat you like crap afterwards.

The barfly that had been wooing me with shots all night almost had a chance, but then the houselights came up after last call & I was filled with desperascorn.

desperation diamond 

In the game of beer pong, desperation diamond is a type of rerack only used when the player is losing and needs to sink four more cups. The rerack forms the four cups into the shape of a diamond. In most games of beer pong, you can only only rerack once; therefore you are giving up your rerack privileges early. This rerack is desperate but advantageous in certain situations.

You have one cup left on your side. You're opponent has four cups left on his side. You rerack since time is running out and you need the increase your chances of making cups.

You: Ah shit, I'll rerack...
Him: DESPERATION DIAMOND!

desperation porn 

Video that features someone (usually female) who badly needs to urinate. Often she's fully clothed. Desperation video lovers find it extremely erotic. It's a fetish. Most of a desperation video is taken up with the subject crossing her legs tightly, holding her crotch, jiggling around outside a bathroom door and huffing & puffing and saying things like, "I gotta pee so bad!" The video's high point comes when she can no longer hold it and wets her pants.

Louis got really pissed off when we laughed at him after discovering he watches desperation porn.

desperado

outlaw. Current literature indicates that desperado is derived from the spanish term desesperado which means a person with no hope. The term comes from esperanza which means hope. Adding “des” to the front makes it an antonym. Changing the ending “anza” to “ado” makes it an adjective and desesperado means a person with no hope. While this may be logical, it intuitively does not seem to fit well. I sounds like an Ivy league researcher explanation. I spoke with Native American oral historian and their oral history says that the term evolved in this fashion:

Spain created the Camino Real from Mexico to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1598. Camino Real literally means “Royal Road”. As such the road is protected by garrisons at intervals along the road. Spanish law levied a toll to travelers on the Camino Real in order to pay for these soldiers. The soldiers would stop the travelers and demand the toll be paid for them to continue on. In spanish “to stop” is “parar”. And as above “desparado” is a person that was not stopped. According to their oral history, the term desparado, described travelers that did not want to pay a toll and circled, off the road, around the military posts. The term became associated with “scofflaws”, people that openly disrespect the law. When the Americans immigrated into the area they modified the language of the region to suite. Words like “la reata” in Spanish became “lariat” and desparado became desperado. To me this explanation makes a better fit, desparado meaning law breaker is a better fit than desesperado a “a person with no hope”.

Desperados have been depicted in Western literature and film for decades. The movie Desperado is about a cowboy character running from the law. Which is appropriate for a person that shot the sheriff. He is a desperado, an outlaw.

The Eagles song Desperados has lyrics describing a cowboy wandering the range "out mending fences". This is not appropriate. Desperados are not necessarily cowboys. I thing the Eagles missed the target to this one.
