A phrase used by dumb and/or ignorant people that want to use the word 'smart' to describe themselves. These particular people tend to look down on intelligent people who actually put time and effort into learning to make their lives better. Basically used as an excuse for dumb people who don't value education and pursuing new ideas and don't understand that learning math and language skills give you a big leg up in the world.
"If you spend your life reading books, you aint gonna last in the real world. You gotta be street smart to survive."
"I don't have to learn nothing to survive. I'm street smart."
"I'm not book smart, I'm street smart."
"I don't have to learn nothing to survive. I'm street smart."
"I'm not book smart, I'm street smart."
