Question: Use of the word cameo (particular question)? While I realize that, in the strictest sense, the word "cameo" is a short appearance in a theatrical or literary work, I feel like it can be used more casually.  Let me explain:  Can I say something like this- "I heard Julia made a cameo at Mark's house last night."  Assuming she truly stayed for five minutes and then bolted, would this use of the word make sense?  Thanks.

Answer: No I don't think you can. I mean, it doesn't even sound right...
