Someone who thinks they're smart by answering or replying with rude, sarcastic, or redundant answers. The difference between a smart person and a smartass is that a smart person will answer you correctly without being an asshole, but a smartass is not only an asshole, but they're an asshole that gives you an answer everyone already knows or they give you an answer that's half right.

Person: "Compared to 2023, the year 2000 was a year with no pandemic, no mass shootings, no terrorist attacks, no smartphones, no social media, etc..."

Smartass: "You're an idiot, bad things happen all time, you're just not aware of it. Also, smartphones already existed, they're just clunky and not as popular."

Person: "I know that, smartass. I'm just trying to make a point that the year 2000 isn't as bad as it is right now, asshole."

Smartass Phone

A smart phone who's autocorrect (spell check) feature will change the intended word typed into a text field (such as text messages or IM) into an unrelated word, throwing off the whole sentence. If left unchecked, a text or other message may cause havoc or very awkward situations. Common occurrence with iPhones, but Android and Blackberry phones may also throw off a letter (EG: fuck becoming duck)

Jasmine: "We should totally get penis today"
Chelsea: "Uhm, eww I don't want penis!"
Jasmine: "Penis? I said pedis, I never said Pen.... Ohhhhh. I hate my iPhone"
Chelsea: "Sureeee, now I know what you really want!"
Jasmine: "It wasn't me Chelsea!! My iPhone is being a smartass phone again"
