street wise professor

A street wise professor is like an O.G. but still on the streets doing what they have done for years. They are usually punks who have been around the scene to damn long. So they end up teaching the younger generations how and why they do what they do.

Any time I am stuck in a town on business I find the street wise professor to let me know whats up.

street wise

I became street wise while hitchhiking the US after graduating from college in the late '70's. Learned plenty from people I met, and here's my resulting definition:

Street wise people are aware of their surroundings and nearby people, sense and avoid walking in places of high risk, and proceed out of them with a confident stride.

Being street wise, Mike notices risky areas by tip offs such as use of razor wire, cameras, and graffiti. He avoids walking too close to hiding places alongside buildings or other areas when in marginal or dangerous areas.
