Like many words, "smart" has lots of different meanings depending on when and how you use it. For example, "smart" can describe a well-dressed person. It can also be used as a verb (动词), meaning "to feel pain". But the most common use of "smart" is to be very good at learning and understanding things. So, when students do well at school and get good grades, we can call them "smart".
Being smart, however, goes beyond the classroom. People can be smart in different ways. If you have attended school for many years and are knowledgeable, people might call you "book-smart". Book-smart people are well-read. They often know the names of great thinkers, scientists and other famous people in history. And they know facts and information that many other people don't. However, being book-smart is not everything. Sometimes people who are very educated are not so smart when it comes to life skills. These people who are good at dealing with practical life problems are street-smart. These people may not have read many books, but they have the ability to use their experiences in many different situations.
So whether you are book-smart, street-smart or both, being smart is a good thing. But it may surprise you that "getting smart" is not good. In conversation, "getting smart" means you are being rude or impolite. It is very common to hear parents say to their children, "Do NOT get smart with me!" And that's not the only "smart" expression that can get you into trouble. We often pair "smart" with "off" to make a very useful phrasal verb — to smart off. It means you are saying rude comments and showing a lack of respect. So if a person has a smart mouth, and says disrespectful, rude things, other people may say "Do not smart off".
