street smarts

Intelligence gained outside of school. Just as useful as book smarts, and in many cases more so. It can be divided into 4 categories.

1.Getting Along With Others- Knowing which questions to ask and not asking too many,being polite and friendly, but also being assertive.

2.Common Sense- Knowing who you can trust, which areas in town are good and which are bad, etc.

3.Self-defense-Knowing how to fight and fend off an attacker, especially if you are small.

4.BS-detection-Knowing when people are trying to fuck you over, reading their intentions, and knowing that most corporate advertisements are complete bullshit.

Street Knowledge

It’s the knowledge/wisdom that comes from the streets, with the act of experiencing things outside your bubble. One must walk, alone or with somebody, to know the extent of reality.
A man must not only be wise, but know how things work in practical means.
Street knowledge tells you the places you should go, and the places you don’t. Same thing applies to life.
