Absolute nonsense idiots use to feel better about themselves, or to brag when in reality they have literally nothing going on.
Used in place of actual logic or as the idiots using this teen call it "book smarts".

Idiot: hey that guy got an A on the test.
Person: yeah i heard that guy is actually really smart
Idiot: well book smarts don't mean anything in the real world, i have Street smarts... By the way this lemon is really sour, that's surprising.

A term that complete idiots use to try and glorify their ignorance as being some kind of virtue. Someone who is "street smart" might be found wearing Tap-Out clothing, has a shaved head, some kind of dragon tattoo or obscure Asian lettering somewhere on their body, brags about how many bones in your body they can break, has an ego completely disproportionate to their abilities, and watches UFC ritualistically. This type of person can often be found making minimum wage on a local McDonald's construction site, or at a pre-screening of "Never Back Down".
Frank: Yo man I jus can wait to kick yo ass. I'm a fighter and I street smart.
John: Really? Because you seem to be talking a lot and not doing shit.

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.

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)?
