garage sale

In canoeing, a difficult stretch where the inexperienced frequently capsize.

This term makes more sense applied to canoing where there are boatloads of gear than in skiing where the gear strewn is limited to skiis, poles, and maybe a hat.
We should be at the garage sale rapids before noon.

camp

something considered amusing not because of its originality but because of its unoriginality. According to Susan Sontag, "The essence of Camp is its love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration. And Camp is esoteric -- something of a private code, a badge of identity even, among small urban cliques." (Notes on Camp)
Campy movies: Attack of the 50-foot Woman, Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Tingler, Barbarella

Other examples: Baltimore, The National Enquirer, fake fur, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, Tiki, and polyester plaids

"I love disco precisely why everyone else seems to dislike it: disco is just so darn campy."
