Grandkids Slang: 'Camp'​

Don't be lost on all the new lingo of the younger generation. We'll help you dissect what they mean and have fun while doing it! For today's ‘What Would The Grandkids Say?’ segment, we're tackling the term ‘Camp’. It's something intentionally exaggerated or theatrical. For example, wearing a sparkly jumpsuit to the grocery store is campy. What about you? How would you use 'camp' in everyday life? Share it in this thread.

Camp to me is staying overnight in a tent or swag, or in the great outdoors, or a couple of the same sex who are in a relationship.

Agree with above
Camp to me is staying in the outdoors or someone who is gay or in the same sex relationship.

When I was young camp meant homosexual!

Another blast from the past - camp used this way was around when I was a teenager.
