Street Smart

A term that complete idiots use to try and glorify their ignorance as being some kind of virtue. Someone who is "street smart" might be found wearing Tap-Out clothing, has a shaved head, some kind of dragon tattoo or obscure Asian lettering somewhere on their body, brags about how many bones in your body they can break, has an ego completely disproportionate to their abilities, and watches UFC ritualistically. This type of person can often be found making minimum wage on a local McDonald's construction site, or at a pre-screening of "Never Back Down".
