About Clever
There are lots of ways to be clever: emotionally, academically, creatively, humorously, and so on, though many will associate the word to someone being highly skilled, quick to understand, and good in school. Used (quietly) for boys since the early 2000s, it first appeared in the US stats for girls in 2024.
