On this program we talk about words and expressions that we use in everyday conversation. Today, we will talk about the word "smart." Like many words, "smart" has lots of different meanings, depending on how and when you use it. For example, “smart" can describe someone who is very neat-looking. A person wearing an official uniform with shiny shoes and buttons can look very smart. We can also use smart” as a verb. Used this way, it means “to feel pain.” That pain could be physical or emotional. So, if you hit your thumb with a hammer by accident, you might yell out, "Ow, that smarts!" This would be a very polite thing to yell when you experience extreme physical pain. Many of us probably wouldn’t be that polite. We would probably yell something quite different.
