This looks like an error to me. "Camp" can be a noun or verb but this case it seems like someone is attempting to use it as an adverb, which is foreign in my experience, but it could be some kind of regional slang.

I think I've heard it mentioned once or twice in my life, but it's a term not commonly used around where I live.

I've always heard it in reference to campy movies. It may be a gay term but there are very few gays in this neck of the woods, so I haven't heard it used that way.

My dictionary defines "CAMP" (adj.) as 'theatrical, exaggerated', 'effiminate', 'homosexual'.
Also, (dating myself) I remenber that the late actor Victor Mature was defined as 'camp'. Contemporary equivalent would be Sylvester Stallone or George Clooney: so BAD, it's good.

charlesbb, compared to me and the way I had to learn English, you are one lucky dude.
When I arrived in Canada all by myself as a seventeen-year-old kid, there was no internet. There were no classes for the lame-brained, politically correct idea of English as Second language.
Learn on your own! Learn with common sense. Buy a dictionary and learn how to use it. Unless you want to become a life-long slave of the Liberal Party.

TenPenny and cliffy,
Masturbation only exits in the mind of some pathetic little human wanna-be, who doesn't get (and maybe never did) get enough at home.
And his similarly cursed soul-mate who blindly and typically unthinkingly says BINGO.
Please explain to charlesbb why you had to drag this thread to your level in the sewer.

Your charitable intentions warm my unfeeling, cruel and insensitive heart.
Please use your money and efforts in something you probably NEVER experienced before: give your money to the Salvation Army and your time to Habitat for Humanity.
And a little bit of civility on your part might go a long way.

Back to the topic:
charlesbb, in spite of all the yahooes, all I wanted to do was to give my you the valuable lessons I learned from my experience as a young immigrant in a country that was strange to me at the time. I prevailed, because of my efforts, my hard work and ignoring the bigots and pseudo-patriots who tried to stop me, and still try to stop you and all the immigrants from enjoying the fruits of your labour, which you earned, but was provided for the above-mentioned yahooes and free-loaders by their daddies.

"1, I do not contribute to any form of organized religion. 2, Anything Jimmy Carter is involved, can not be good for anybody."
Therin lies the loving, selfless and humanitarian essence of a liberal.
I DO give to the church of my choice. Being a Catholic, I must admit, sometimes I wonder - in the light of recent allegations - if I should.
I worked along with Jimmy Carter in Florida on Habitat for Humanity projects. I worked along with Ed Schryer, former NDP Premier of Manitoba on Habitat for Humamnity blitz in Regina in 1998.
Much as I disliked Jimmy Carter, I always gave him credit for being a humanitarian. Much as I told Premier Schryer that it is a pity that he is so misguided politically, I gave him credit for getting dirty, swing the hammer and help the deserving poor.
Based on your posts you would rather see nothing done. For 'people' like you nothing is more important than s**t in the woods. And about as kind and charitable.

As far as I know, "camp" is UK slang for gayish, although you never know about kids from other countries. They may have picked it up and contorted its meaning.
No, it's not an adverb, it's an adjective in this sense. Adverbs usually describe adjectives. "His clothes are utterly camp": "utterly" would be the adverb and "camp" would be the adjective.

CDNBear, I don't mind being chastised when I deserve it. And even when I am undeservedly chastised, I can handle it, proven by the fact that your comeback to my post was expressed by your anti-immigrant hate message you and your fellow hate-mongering liberals seem to be so excellent at.
Sorry, but however you wish that I wasn't here or I was dead, I am not quite ready for exit in either way.

I'm not sure how s**t in the woods comes into play, can you expand on that? And you really aren't qualified to comment on my charitable contributions. I'd suggest if one were so inclined to do so, (Although I'm not generally, because I believe true charity is when you give without seeking reward). If you were to tally the time I spend and the money, in areas such as forest and wildlife management, as well as both Native and non Native organizations, it would dwarf yours by a long shot.For 'people' like you nothing is more important than s**t in the woods.
