I'll take street every time.

Quote:

Book smart is simply describing that the person as generally intelligent, well educated and do well academically. However, the underlying idea is that the person deals with situations (especially bad or difficult situations) from an intellectual direction, using or basing decisions on facts, knowledge or insights gained chiefly from books or structured experiences (e.g. studying).

That is in contrast to street smart, which describes the person as having common sense, knowing the ways of the world -- how things are done or doable in real life. The underlying idea is such a person deals with matters at hand from a more practical direction with more pragmatic considerations. In short, intelligence not from books but from real life and personal experience.

Both terms are used to contrast and compare each other -- kind of like two sides of the same coin. As pejoratives, the book smart is one who relies on structured knowledge and suck at real life (naive, easily manipulated, bad judgment) -- and the street smart is 'unintelligent' or 'uneducated' (or incapable of being educated), hardboiled, unsentimental.

Frowny and DMV be damned. Pretentious bitches.

Do you want me to tell everybody or you scared?

I once left my car running unlocked in the college parking lot and came back 90 minutes later and was wondering why my lights were on.

Of course you would, otherwise you'd be forced to admit that you did something stupid and shortsighted, like marrying your high school girlfriend right after school cause you got her pregnant cause **** condoms I guess.

This is why we rarely get new members.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Hooked up in 1979. Got pregnant in 1983.
