Climate Overcompensation Syndrome

noun, Psychoanalysis.

1. a pronounced striving to neutralize and conceal the effect of extreme climate on one's person by substituting for it with opposite behaviors.

Examples include wearing shorts in the middle of winter in Minnesota or drinking hot cocoa on a 60 degree day in Florida. This can also include remarks such as, "40 below really isn't that cold in Fargo" or "100 degrees is quite comfortable; we don't have the humidity here in Tucson."

Mark's severe Climate Overcompensation Syndrome led him to shopping for a parka after he felt unprepared for the 50 degree morning in we had last week here in Miami.

Overcampensating

Describes a type of behaviour exhibited by (often) gay men. especially in the period shortly after "coming out" where they are excessively camp. their actions are more flamboyant, their voice more sibilant and higher pitched, their mannerisms more feminine.
This term was first coined in the Musical "It's a real drag" by Steve Kelleher-Brown

In a desparate bid to attract the attention of anyone in the bar who might be looking for an available boy that evening, James began overcampensating again much to the annoyance of his friends who were trying to have a quiet drink.

"Alex, stop overcampensating, we all know you're gay now"
