When someone gets good grades in school because they have the ability to memorise pages of information, however in real life they’re absolute idiots.
John: “Linda is so clever, she got 92% on her history test”
Abraham: “Nah, she’s just textbook smart. She doesn’t even know how to spell Nickelodeon”

Get the textbook smart mug.Not to be confused with being academically "smart", this slang term refers to when a child has successfully figured out the behavioral requirements to get more screen time from parents, which may not necessarily be uniform from one pair of parents to next. For example, a toddler with an IQ of "only" 78 is already allowed by his parents to be on the iPad for hours on end. Whereas, a 20-year old college student is "only" allowed to watch YouTube for 1~2 hours per day just because he cannot afford moving out from parents' house yet.
That kid is so smart—he knows exactly how to act to get unlimited iPad time, while I'm stuck with just a couple of hours of YouTube each day!
