A shit show that took place on September 29, 2020 between two absolute morons. The 2020 debate looked like two toddlers arguing over something small and they kept interrupting each other.
73 million people watched the 2020 "debate" live. The only losers of the first 2020 debate were the American people.
The title given to any number of hellish weeks spent at a university over summer practicing debate. At camp, students learn the fundamentals of debate as well as strategy, theory, and how to run strange post-modern arguments that only fellow debaters and experienced judges will understand. Students will also learn the art of staying awake for 4 days at a time, that espresso is its own food group, and how to acquire drugs in a foreign city. Days of camp are typically 7am-3am and some weeks there will be as many hours of sleep as there are arms on a Ugandan refugee. Students are likely to return home with a permanent carpet texture to their face (acquired by sleeping in the isles of law libraries), excessive kritiks and Kantian quotes, an appreciation for adderall and a deep relationship with their laptop.

a certain, unattractive breed of highschool debater, typically policy, that carries himself with the pride of a king and with the morals of a wrinkled up paper towel.
usually novices, usually fond of uploading corrupted dropbox files and playing video games during the rest of the academic classes.
"Just hit this guy in the first round of elims, he is the epitome of debate trash!"
"samar, you can't date debate trash, you're better than this"

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. This strategy occurs when the person (almost always a woman) either realizes the other person is right and it's best to try to throw them off or when they're simply an idiot.
Fred calmly explained to his wife Mandy that her continued credit card expenditures at high end department stores would likely threaten the family's ability to pay their bills, and definitely end any chance of sending their children to college. Mandy, calling on the crown jewel of Desperation Debating replied, "Yeah? Well you have a small dick!
