Crimping

Crimping refers to a fictional type of song which usually contains no particular musical element but is instead sung acapella, does not follow any single tune and contains surreal lyrics that often make little sense. Other common characteristics of crimping are unusual subject matter such as soup or jackets, repetition of vocal lines and dance gestures to accompany the songs. The style is reminiscent of scat singing.

Crimping originated in the British BBC Three series The Mighty Boosh where the two main characters, Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) sing a song with each other, often for nostalgic purposes. The most obvious of these is "The Soup Song", with "Calm A Llama Down" and "Jean-Claude Jaquettie" also being prominent examples.

These small tunes were not known as crimping until the third episode of the third series, "The Power of the Crimp", in which the main characters stage a "crimp-off" against their doppelgänger rivals, The Flighty Zeus. The match culminates in a four-way crimp to which both Bollo and Naboo contribute.
The best example of crimping is the famous Four Way Crimp:

"Ahhhhhheeeeeeeee

Crimpity crimpity now now,
Crimpity crimpity ask me how
Crimpity crimpity humble pie
Crimpity crimpity
Boing ding bong bong ting
Crimpity crimpity ping pong

Sugar man light source why did you come for me,
he put me in a coma
Woke up in the future
Robot man can't you help me find my way!
I can't understand the things you say.
Chew mouse I love you so,
I took you from the underground and brought you home.
I put you in my jacket pocket
took you to the meeting
I put you in my jacket pocket
took you to the meeting
Put you in my jacket pocket
Put you in my jacket pocket
Put you in my jacket
Put you in my jacket
Jean claude jaquette
with his jacket on
with his jacket off
Jacket on
Jacket off
Jacket on
Jacket off
Oh oh oh I did a twisty
Oh oh oh a tiny twisty
Crimpity crimpity now now
Crimpity crimpity ask me how
Crimpity crimpity you will pay
Crimpity crimpity out my way
Boing ding bong bong ting
Crimpity crimpity fuck you!"

camping cops

Camping cops are players often in a ROBLOX game known as Jailbreak who sit around the Bank, Jewelry Store, Museum, Donut Shop, Gas Station, Power Plant, Cargo Train, Passenger Train, or even jail and wait for criminals to get close to them so they can arrest and get cash. The cop who arrested the criminal will get 200 cash (240 for vips) and in some cases a bounty if the criminal had one like when the criminal has robbed or shot a cop. Cops often camp at robbing places or jail so criminals cannot rob or escape jail. They can also camp where criminals are prohibited to be at such as a police station or the sewers. They may also camp vehicle spawns like the Prison Camaro.

Russian Camping

A term utilised to describe the act of going camping with friends (or solo) and bringing nothing but yourself, a bottle of spirit each, usually vodka, and the clothes on your back. To successfully camp Russian style, one must consume the entire bottle of vodka before sleep, thus being so drunk that sleeping on the bare ground is now quite comfortable and the cold night air will not affect ones core temperature.
Fenton: Hey Yuri! where the hell is the tent and sleeping bags?!
Yuri: Fear not Fenton

*swigs grey goose*

Camping Noob

A camping noob otherwise known as a camper is usually either new at the game or lacking greatly in skill. The Call of Duty franchise has many camping noobs that play the game. The camping noob will refer to the camping as strategy or tactical. Most often the camper will chose a weapon that takes no skill whatsoever such as an AA12 (Auto shotty) or an M16 with a noob tube. Camping noobs are at the bottom of the gaming ladder, clutch players at the top and everything else in the middle. Most camping noobs think they are good for god knows what reason.
Camping Noob-"You guys are horrible, running around like a chicken with your head cut off."

Clutch Player-"I guess thats why I went 64-12 and you went 5-0, get good scrub."
