Too happy to be taken seriously; happy to a cheesy or campy extent. Comes from the R.E.M. song Shiny Happy People.
I hated that movie's shiny happy portrayal of high school. In reality, it's a living nightmare for some people.

Get the happy haroldmug. The term Happy Camper originates from the quote, "Not a Happy Camper".
It has been in use for over 20 years.
It's origins are similar to that of the term "Touron" which is a cross between a tourist and a moron. These terms began and are currently widely used in the resort industry and National Park Service.
It was in use as early as 1986 Yosemite National Park by employees of the Yosemite Park and Curry Company.

Get the Happy Campermug. Quite literally, someone who is happy doing what they're doing, or has just had a happy experience.
If you're not a happy camper, then you've just had a bad experience.

I went to sleep-away camp in the 1960's-1970's, and this was an old expression counselors used back then. They'd ask us kids, "Are you all happy campers?" to check with us that we were OK. It was a situational rhyme.

Get the happy campermug. "Happy horseshit" is a phrase that describes news releases, speeches and other official language often produced by public relations people that puts the best possible - if often unrealistic - spin on a particular subject. A great deal of happy horseshit is often served up at political rallies, awards ceremonies, and in government and corporate communications in general.
President Bush informed the nation that America was on course to achieve its objectives in Iraq, though most of the viewing public assumed the statement was happy horseshit.

Get the happy horseshitmug. A genre of electronic music that became popular during England's rave movement. Characterized by a processed 4x4 kick, breakbeats, baselines, and high strung synths and vocals, happy hardcore is the staple of any candy kid's listening experience. Drum & Bass also originated from happy hardcore and now are (ironically) anathema to one another. Where happy hardcore is known for it's happy, almost cheesy, lyrics and sounds, Drum & Bass is a much more aggressive, hard-edged sound that is a much harder pill to swallow, so to speak.
