Dear Max: I was a bit surprised by way you used "camp". TIME magazine long ago used it to mean lowbrow style or behaviour, it appeared to me from the context So I was surprised to find this definition in my dictionary:
>6 5orig., homosexual jargon6 [Slang]
a) banality, mediocrity, artifice, ostentation, etc. so extreme as to amuse or have a perversely sophisticated appeal b) exaggerated effeminate mannerisms, usually affected for amusement >
adj.
