LOL, I took a Shakespeare 301 class in 1990 (long-story-short...to fulfill upper level degree requirements in my Nat Science B.S., lol) but I don't recall that exchange.

I had to take one Shakespeare course for my degree as well--though it was early Shakespeare, and I don't recall that Twelfth Night was part of the syllabus. I read it a couple of years ago, hit on that passage, and recognized it as a reference to something, and wondered what.
Shakespeare is full of 16th-century allusions to what we would call pop culture today. But they don't teach you about all of those in class. That's what the footnotes are for.

That's "huntin' camp".
When you take the wife and the RV, it's called "glamping". We're going glamping next weekend. We have to bring the generator because there will be no hookups but it is glamping nonetheless.
I read this and totally cracked up. I read it to everyone in the room with me. I think it got one courtesy chuckle.
