And she used it in a drabble. There's no excuse for using that word in a drabble.
From M-W (because I certainly didn't know):
a writer of belles lettres, literature that is an end in itself and not merely informative;
I think it relates to belles letres? Lessee --
Main Entry: bel·le·trist Pronunciation: bel-'le-trist Function: noun Etymology: belles lettres Date: 1816 : a writer of belles lettres - bel·le·tris·tic /"be-l&-'tris-tik/ adjective
So, yeah, I gather it means someone who writes pretty. (Or wrote pretty, in France, in 1816.)
Am-Chau, that skit sounds like an old Benny Hill thing I saw once, where a "feminist" lady teacher was replacing all the masculine words with feminine equivalents. It was a story about Sandy and Womandy, the second of whom was very intellilady.
Without checking a dictionary, I know belle lettres are sort of personal essays/criticism, so I'd guess it means something like "personal writings-like." It is kind of obscure and unnecessary for use in a drabble, however.
Edit: And x-post.

There are some...women in particular, that kind of get high offmetaphor for metaphors' sake...me age 15. And I would laugh at the golf course, but I wrote garbage dumpster love...so no soup or moral high ground for me.
Erika---the garbage dumpster love was cool and witty and well written.
This other chick just sounds like she's vomiting up a thesarus.
