This reminded me of something Bruce Springsteen did that I found quite funny: in a pop-fluffy song on one of his early albums, the singer describes a woman he's just met as "young and pretty". When I heard him sing it live he changed it to "young and- intelligent!" as if he'd decided that calling random women "pretty" is Not Done Anymore and settled on "intelligent" as the appropriate substitute for a general "I fancy this person and want to say something nice about them" compliment.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
