Obviously a man stupid enough to walk his ass to death to get to the camp site, only to fall off in the middle of the night.

And you don't always have to walk, the truly lazy can go park up in the mountains at their camp site if they go rent one.

Hell, I meant "camping" as in the expression "as camp as a row of tents".

To lift the head and draw in the chin as an expression of scorn or resentment.
To show anger or resentment; take offense: bridling at the criticism.

Except for time spent in the circus.
I wasn't aware you used that term to refer to the US Armed Forces as well.

One's a transitive verb, one's an intransitive verb.
