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.

I cannot praise it highly enough.
