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.

California Camry

A less boujee term used to describe the Tesla Model 3 when the owner wishes to not sound like a dick.
Yeah so I have the Tesla 3, but I don’t wanna get into the Tesla Gloryhole thing so if people ask I just say it’s a California Camry

A tall, beautiful girl, with gorgeous eyes. Caelyn is the funniest person you will ever meet, she loves movies and time with friends, she gets very passionate about the things and people she values most, when you meet her she seems shy but once you get to know her she never stops talking, anybody would be so so lucky to know a caelyn, let alone be friends with one.

Cailyn is shy when you first meet her, but then when you get to know her she's really out there! She's fun to be around and loves to have a laugh. She likes to impersonate people and put on a really funny accent. Cailyn thinks she isn't beautiful, but to everyone else; she really is. She doesn't like to be left out of things and doesn't like people who try to manipulate her.
Who's that really funny chick over there? It's a Cailyn.
Wow, she's beautiful, what's her name? Cailyn.
