Wise-acre is essentially synonymous with the terms jerk and jackass. One defining feature is that a wise-acre enjoys comedy more than anything, and therefore an insult comic or a practical joker would be called wise-acres. It has fallen into disuse recently, but it's still there.
Yeah, Tom's a real wise-acre. He screwed the top of the salt-lid off and when I went to pour it it fell off.

Get the Wise Duckmug. The liberal arts college of the University of Virginia. As with the other colleges of the University of Virginia, this college, the College at Wise, is highly regarded by U.S. News and World Report.
In the liberal arts tradition of Thomas Jefferson, the College at Wise offers majors in the liberal arts.
Highly regarded students distinguish themselves with certain majors unavailable at some other Virginia colleges, i.e. (Communication, Software Engineering), and more importantly the highly selective UVA-WISE Honors Program.
