It's a descriptive term whose meaning everyone knows, Roger.

Am I wrong in believing she has recently gotten at least one substantial 
monetary award from some bastion of political correctness or other?  I 
strongly suspect she gets more money for a single reading than any ten 
of the poets in my group (many of them also politically correct but much 
better poets than Wright) have gotten for all their readings combined.
