Street smart 

A phrase to describe a phony person. Though there are different kinds of intelligence, intelligence is intelligence, and street smart is just another phrase people use to divide people, just like book smart, to turn somebody into a 2 dimensional person. Language is meant to hide the truth about people and their intentions, no matter the language.

Nobody but phony people claim to be street smart. Experience will show you that.

Don't you really hate it when somebody starts describing themself or somebody else as street smart when you know that they know deep down that they could describe themself as more than just plain street smart without people thinking they were egotistical and pompous?

Ask yourself whether even Tupac wouldn't be able to call himself street smart enough, and if even he wouldn't do it, and you are from the part of Kansas way past Kansas City, (Missouri or Kansas) or somewhere just like parts of Kansas way past Kansas City, why would you get on a National Geographic show about prison with a pseudonym and claim to be street smart when you know it isn't you, it's just an image you want (but you still think it's as hilarious to everyone else as it is to you what you're saying and doing)?
