#smartaleck

Hello!  Our slang word of the day is ”Smart aleck“, which means “a person who thinks he is very smart and demonstrates this fact to others.“⠀ Origin: Americanism, dating from the mid-1800s, probably alluded to a person of this description who was named Alec or Alexander, but his identity has been lost. But possibly it is derived from the name of Aleck Hoag, a 19th-century con man and thief. You need example sentences with pronunciation?

Usage in a movie ("Mulholland Dr."): - Okay. I'm thinking. - No, you're not thinking. You're too busy being a smart aleck to be thinking. Now, I want you to think and stop being a smart aleck.
