Smart as paint

Modern usage should be an insult. Just add "literally." Original meaning from the 1800s: clever or intelligent. First said by Long John Silver, a pirate (an occupation known for excellent grammar?) in "Treasure Island." But how smart is paint, really?

If your target researches the phrase, dictionariies only have the original, complimentary definition --- which becomes a sneaky insult if you add "literally."
You're as smart as paint, literally. Don't be offended. I was just paraphrasing a compliment from "Treasure Island." It's a literary classic.

smart term memory loss

Smart term memory loss is when you’re brain chooses to forget unimportant data or transforms important data into every day life so its more hard to forget it. Though however the original way the important data was learned will be forgotten and changed to whatever is the way your brain chooses it to be.

I have Smart term memory loss, for example: to me, my friend texted me they didn’t want to go to homecoming with their boyfriend. To them they told me in person that. For me I remember their text very clearly in my mind but after searching for an hour I still couldn’t find it so my brain just processed the information I was given to a way I was use to communicating to this person.

smart delay start

A start that is delayed from its normal time because of a smartphone use.
e.g. (at a petrol servo, while waiting in line)
- "Why isn't this car moving out, they've been finished for 5' now!"
- "They probably do a smart delay start! Honk at them! Or wait until they've finished texting."
