Academic smurfing encompasses a wide variety of situations, but they're all a tactic used by a GPA whore.
Common examples of academic smurfing:
A student fluent in a foreign language, such as French, retaking the whole language from the easiest class, in this case, French 1, so they can easily get As in their 4 years of taking that language.
A student who has qualified for AP Calculus BC, but instead choosing to take AP Statistics or AP Calculus AB, as they are perceived to be easier AP classes. This highly depends on the school curriculum and prerequisites. Some schools have students take Calc AB before taking Calc BC. See booster.
A student dropping an honors/AP class and swapping it for another AP/honors/regular class the moment they get less than an A- on the first test, so they could protect their GPA and increase their chances of ending up with an A. See GPA whore

Get the git gud mug.The process of taking as many AP courses as possible to increase your weighted GPA and look better for colleges. Tends to be done in the 11th grade, or Junior year.
The rigor of taking even more than 2 AP courses forces one to develop proper time management skills, as they’ll have extracurriculars and a social life to juggle.

Guy 1: Yeah, I’m taking 7 APs Junior year. Gonna be absolute hell, but I need that 4.8.
Guy 2: Wow, and I thought I was AP stacking. I’m taking 4, and self-studying for 1.
Guy 3: I’m taking two, but they relate to my major so it should be fine.
Guy 4: You guys are taking APs?

Get the AP Stacking mug.A student who takes easier advanced classes so they'd have an easier time getting a high grade in that class.

Guy 1: Hey, wasn't X supposed to be with us in Calc BC this year?
Guy 2: Yeah, but after hearing from the seniors about how hard it was, he took AP Statistics so it'll be easier to get an A. "Still an AP" was his defense.
Guy 1: What a fucking booster. It's not like a single A- or B+ will fuck him over for Stanford. This class is curved as fuck too. What a GPA whore.
