The art of sleeping in a portable structure at a camp ground with every single comfort from home that it's not really camping at all. This often results in an experience far more expensive than an expensive hotel. (Different from staying in a caravan, as that is not camping but caravanning). People who go Quasi-camping are often loud obnoxious and never take their rubbish with them.
I went to the campground, there were so many people Quasi-camping, it gives me the impression that they hate the outdoors and would rather stay at home. They were obnoxious, loud and messy.

Exclusive, A term used by marketers in order to sell things to give some sort of sense of superiority. Such as "our exclusive offer" or "exclusive housing estate". The Irony of the use of this word is that nothing is really exclusive, because anyone who can afford it can buy it regardless of their background. So the use of this word in marketing is just some sort of ego boost.
Look at my new house in this exclusive housing estate, notice how everyone who lives here are better than you (some how)...

Dying a slow death can refer to people who may be living a mundane or a life without productivity or purpose. Such as a person who does not participate in society and rather watches television nearly all day, everyday. This can also include people who for some reason my have complete social isolation.
I once spoke to an Australian Aboriginal elder about the alcohol crisis in indigenous communities. He said that most of the people who drink alcohol to excess do so as it gave them something to do and an escape. He said these people weren't living but were actually dying a slow death.

Anything on the spectrum that is above the standard. Luxury can range from leather seats in an economy car to a private jet or a private island. The spectrum of luxury can have such a wide range because what may be luxury to one person might not be to another person. In general anything that is obtained to make life more comfortable or enjoyable, something greater than what is needed to survive, including alcohol.
I believe my car is a luxury car because it has leather seats, but your car is a luxury car also because it is very expensive and stylish.

The term Yuppie Larvae originated in the 1989 film Ghost Busters two, in reference to obnoxious children at a birthday party. Other than this the term is not usually used in day to day dialogue. This may be because, the people who are around yuppie larvae on a day to day basis are used to these kind of children and may not think anything is out of place, those who are around the children, will be more annoyed at the parent's thus the children will be overlooked.
Yuppie Larvae are the children of white inner city (including inner city suburban) families who are middle class, typically of white collar professions of middle or upper middle management. Their parents must have an sense of entitlement or superiority including the perks that come with white privilege. They will generally have nice things, drive nice cars and be into the latest (expensive) fashions.
The children must be stuck up in some way, believing that if you are not one of them socially then you are below them. That includes the people who are around them in their daily lives, the people who are paid to make them more comfortable ("the hired help"). They may say "thank you" or be nice but they will never be humble and believe that everybody owes them.
Anyone who works in retail, or any other service industry will understand the wrath of Yuppie Larvae.

My students are such Yuppie Larvae, they talk over me and never listen. If I try to enforce the rules in the class, they make references to how powerful they believe their parents are in order to intimidate me. They are just a bunch of brats!
