a Desmond

A slang term in football (actual football not the weird American type with helmets) for a 2-2 draw. Inspired by the famous African cleric Desmond Tutu.
John: I'm going for a 3-0 win to United today mate.
Adam: Nah bro, I'm betting it's gonna be a Desmond.
John: A Desmond?
Adam: Yeah, dumbass a Desmond. Get it? Two-Two?
John: OH! Very witty.
Adam: I know, I try.

desmondized

Getting tricked into being smarter than you really are. In order to understand the concept you must be desmondized yourself. A classic example is the friendship between Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Watson, making this older than radio.
Malthus "whenever I hang wiff karen I smarts.."
Frien "what chew trippin, like phat'n shiz?"
Malthus: "dunno like whateff i get desmondized."

Karen "Hello Malthus, how're you doing?"
Malthus "Suitable, good friend, truly delectable."

desmond

A lower second class, or 2:2 degree.
Inspired by South African Desmond Tutu.

Claims about the term 'tutu' are inherently redundant (2:2 <-- duh).

Many claim to have invented the term, the truth is multiple people invented it at different times, in different places and continue to do so believing they are the first.

In the UK, the 'Desmond' is part of a logical sequence using well-known figures:

First - Geoff (Geoff Hurst, footballer)
2:1 - Billy (Billy Gunn, wrestler)
2:2 - Desmond (Desmond Tutu, bishop)
Third - Thora (Thora Hird, actress)

You get nothing for a fail.
"Mike's probably getting a Desmond, Bill a Thora, and Phil needs a Billy or above to get into Kings."

Desmonding

1. The act of behaving irresponsibly during a pandemic, while lecturing others about behaving responsibly during a pandemic.
2. Posting shitty food pics.
Licking public toilet seats during a pandemic, while insisting others respect social distancing, is the epitome of Desmonding.
