smart

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!

Get the smart mug.

Smart-Stan

Smart-Stan: A modern phenomenon inspired by Eminem’s "Stan," describing someone who repeatedly messages you on their smartphone and becomes extremely anxious or frustrated when you don’t respond promptly. Whether you’re busy, asleep, or simply don’t want to engage, they take it to the extreme, embodying that intense, obsessive energy. When they finally meet you in person, they can get really angry and frustrated, and calling them a "Smart-Stan" would make perfect sense to them.

Lee: Bruv, I used to work with this guy named Paul, and he was a proper smart-stan. He’d message me and get all worked up if I didn’t reply LOL.
Frank: really? bruv LOL.
Lee: He’d confront me in person, and I’d just laugh he. go mental say I hate it when people don't text back and then I started calling him Stan Bruv and he told everyone, and everyone laughed, even he found it funny.
Frank: That's bear jokes. Bruv LOL.
Lee: Init Bruv LOL.
