extinction of plant or animal species from the earth.

Despeciation is a regular process. The dinosaurs having been extinct 65 millions years ago is an example of despeciation. Today, anthropogenic interventions are more than likely to accelerate despeciation.

Desperation Debating

A move during an argument or discussion whereby a person (almost always a woman) has absolutely no comeback and knows in a fair fight they're beaten, forcing them into a totally nonsensical, unrelated Hail Mary response.

Thumbs Up Desperation

The act of someone writing "Thumbs up if..." at the beginning of their youtube comment as a desperate attempt to make their comments rank in the Highest Rated Comments, even though it gives them no real gain.

Thumbs up if you hate it when people begin their youtube comments with 'thumbs up if...' because they have too much Thumbs Up Desperation.

Desperation Friends

Acquaintances whom are used as a last option to call up to go out. These "friends" are being used so you don't have to go out alone.

Ugh none of my friends responded if they wanted to come out with me tonight. If I don't get a reply in an hour then I'm calling my desperation friends.

Flirtatious Desperation 

The act of turning a completely non-romantic situation into a romantic one because the person is desperate to feel as if someone actually loves them back.

"I think that cute cashier was flirting with me."
"Katie, I don't think someone saying have a nice day is considered flirting."
"No, he's definitely flirting with me. He gave me a bag."
"A bag to put your food in. You have severe Flirtatious Desperation."
