I know there has been some intelligent and principled women have tried to reclaim the term "girly swot", and I'm sure it was used as a term of abuse to undermine hard working and clever women, but in my day a girly swot was someone who created the impression of organisation and intelligence in order to suck up to the teacher. More often than not, they were anything but smart; it was just a veneer; they just wanted to be popular with the authorities. Morgan seems to embody that type of personality.
You'll notice, your honour, I did not directly call anyone a "girly swot". I only made a comparison.
