This is slang specific to Richmond,
California. Richmond kids say "smerkish" where their
counterparts in Oakland would say shady or scandalous. Smerkish can be used as a synonym for
suspicious, wrong, sneaky, unfair - regarding any person or situation where someone is being treated badly. It can be an adjective, adverb, or verb; I've even heard people say, "Aw, she smerked you."
Maliq and his boys are posted on 4th and McDonald when a car full of Northers creeps by, mugging them. Maliq says, "
Watch out - they smerkish" and reaches for his gun.
Later, Maliq asks a girl for her
phone number and she laughs
in his face. His parnter says, "Aw, she did you smerkish, blood."
