Camp (n.) and Campy (adj.): Being so extreme that it has an amusing and sometimes perversely sophisticated appeal. Over the top and farcical, intentionally exaggerated so as not to be taken seriously. Found primarily in television, theatre and motion pictures, camp endeavors for satire and, for those who fully understand and appreciate the risible nature of its material, it's not surprising when it develops a cult following.
Both 'The Little Shop of Horrors' and 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' are movies widely considered very campy, particularly to those of my generation.

This is the name given to a beautiful black girl. She is not a great speller, but she is SO sweet, kind, funny. She gives LOTS of hugs, she is a hugger. She has a dog named Ghost, she has several siblings, (I cant even remember them xD) She has lying issues on the other hand but, that is not important.. She is always willing to stand up for me.
