Text In this podcast, the phrase "to smart mouth" means to backtalk, or to speak disrespectfully to someone, especially with humorous but rude responses to what another person has said: "If I had smart mouthed my mother that way, she would have grounded me for weeks!" A "smart alec" is someone who always has a quick and clever, but annoying response to what other people say: "Randall is a smart alec who always tries to appear clever by making biting comments." The phrase "the smart money is one (someone)" means that that person is likely to win or succeed: "The smart money is on Amir. I've never seen anyone work as hard as he does." Finally, the phrase "street-smart" describes someone who has a lot of common sense and knows how to survive in a big city: "Shane became street-smart when he was a homeless teenager in New York."
