Experiment

I need your help! I'm conducting an experiment for my MPhil! I hope u will help me! It will take just 2 min
My work is connected with such literary genre as modern English Burlesque

(If you are not familiar with it, I will explain:
Burlesquean artistic work, esp literary or dramatic, satirizing a subject by caricaturing it; a ludicrous imitation or caricature; a play of the 17th-19th centuries that parodied some contemporary dramatic fashion or event)

So, please, give me your associations which appeared in your mind when you’ve heard the word “burlesque”

For example, with the word “apple” – tasty, red, green, bad, tree, etc
I need your associations about the word “burlesque” as many as you can give

Hi, I'm familiar with your definition. But in N. America, if you say 'burlesque', I think the first thing most people would think of is strip-tease!
