It is now yes.
A long time ago, it used to be a 4th. At some unis anyway.

I believe it is correctly referred to as "a gentleman's degree". Or so I tell myself.

You are almost certainly correct...
.. it's the degree you get for "keeping nine terms" or something, is it not? I think the only requirements were that you lived in Cambridge and didn't get imprisoned. The latter is probably fairly flexible too.

You can fail outright, and my supervision partner did.

I actually got over 50%, but the Cambridge Engineering department couldn't give a flying **** what other unis use as grade boundaries, and make their own ones up when they see the results.
