Street smart

[packerbacker]

Yeah butch, I was going to respond the same way, you beat me to it. I don't know what would happen if someone shot one of our dogs. They aren't just family, my sons and I use them for hunting and a lot of time has been dedicated to their training. A well trained dog then becomes a hunting companion and a valuable asset. As far as I'm concerned, if someone were to shoot one of our dogs I'd have to feel they wouldn't have a problem shooting me too so I'd have to make the first move.

This is it in a nutshell

I guess I'd be considered "country" for this exercise. "Streetsmart" to me means a city slicker's knowledge/awareness of all the negative, low-life happenings of city dwelling and how to either outdo the perps or avoid falling prey to their activity. Basically, "streetsmart" is a means of surviving in negative surroundings. Now, in the country, we don't have to be "streetsmart" for that type of survival, we just use something called "common sense" to get by.

Basically, it's a made up word to make small people feel big.

ahhhh!! I should have guessed really. We say street wise over here. Just a play on words. Anyways, thank you.

The term "street wise" is also used here to mean the same as "street smart". It simply means you are aware of all the cons and hussles and who the good and bad guys are and how to protect yourself from becoming a victim or how to be the bad guy too.

Most of us country folk have been to the 'towns' a time or two . Street smarts , for us , are simple :
(1) You come up my country road either you were invited and will be welcomed when you arrive , or
(2) You drove into my place uninvited to
Sell me magazines or Bibles
Try to change my religious preference or politics
Sell me storm windows , a roof or driveway paving job
Burglarize my home if I'm gone or strongarm rob me if i am there
Standard answer to #2 :
Yes , my dog bites . Do not exit your car . Turn at the end of my drive and leave .
Yes , this is a 12gauge , fully loaded with OObuck .
No , when the Sherrif I helped vote into office gets here I'll be the only one able to tell the story .

Country road smarts ?

Butch,

You hit the nail on the head!
