Being a desmond is when you think you play a
big role in a dramatic situation, but realistically you are just a bystander. You know those clueless characters in
TV shows that just play along with
whatever happens? That's kind of what a desmond is.
Person 1:
"Jacob wasn't really apart of the
drama.."
Person 2:
"Yeah, now that I think about it, he was kind of a desmond to the
whole situation."
