Usage in a poem

Mayspace user Adam, used SaP in a poem, March 18, 2006, of which I quote the first verse:

i'm done with all of your sexual degradation
just because of my gential deformation
could you stop being so shallow and pedantic
and start being just a little more romantic?

Interesting choice of words - again though I feel he's just using the phrase because it's cool and sounds nice. What's so pedantic about sexual degradation? Perhaps he first thought of "shallow", since he's being judged by the deformation, and then simply added "pedantic" because it made a trendy phrase.
