From German. Meaning "knowing better". And that's exactly what it refers to, like the more common "smart ass" or "wise ass", or even "smart elick" (smart aleck). A besserwisser - or wise ass - is a person, often intellectual, or at least pseudo-intellectual, who thinks he or she has more general knowledge about things than most others. It can be correcting language mistakes in grammar and spelling, or it can be within a specific topic like everything from politics, geography and baseball to history and science - anything you can imagine!
- You know that "bananarama" dude at the Madonna forum? Jeesuz, he's so annoying! Such a besserwisser! Whenever I make the tiniest spelling mistake, he's there immediately to correct me and make me look everything but good. And whenever there's a discussion, he always claims he is the one with the correct answer. Every single time - it never fails! Even though I've caught him in misleading knowledge at least a handful of times!
The girl's name Bessy is "God's promise; God is my oath". She is also beautiful and sexy. Quiet and incredibly intelligent. She has a great sense of humor but speaks her mind. Some people consider her mean, some just consider her honest. She won't allow anyone to step over her. She will never try to play mind games. She means what she says and says what she means.
