Smarty-pants and smarty-boots are two idioms with their origins in the 1860s. An idiom is a word, group of words or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is not easily deduced from its literal definition. Common idioms are words and phrases used in the English language in order to convey a concise idea, and are often spoken or are considered informal or conversational. An idiom can illustrate emotion more quickly than a phrase that has a literal meaning, even when the origin of the idiomatic expression is lost. Many English as a Second Language students do not understand idiomatic expressions such as kick the bucket, barking up the wrong tree and piece of cake, as they attempt to translate them word for word, which yields only the literal meaning. In addition to learning vocabulary and grammar, one must understand the figurative language of idiomatic phrases in order to know English like a native speaker. We will examine the meanings of the expressions smarty-pants and smarty-boots, where these terms came from and some examples of their use in sentences.
Smarty-pants and smarty-boots are terms used to describe a know-it-all, a smart-alack, a show-off. Someone who is described as a smarty-pants or a smarty-boots is annoying to engage with and difficult to be around. A smarty-pants has to always be right, and always tries to force others to acknowledge that he is right. Sometimes, the terms smarty-pants and smarty-boots are used as a form of endearment, but it is best not to use the terms with someone you do not know well. The terms smarty-pants and smarty-boots are reminders of a time when the word smarty was used to mean a know-it-all or someone who is too smart for his own good or overconfident. This definition of smarty dates back to the 1860s. The terms smarty-pants and smarty-boots date to the 1920s-1930s. In time, these expressions became schoolyard taunts. Today, they are somewhat dated. Smarty-pants is mostly an American term, and smarty-boots is mostly a British term. Note that the Oxford English Dictionary renders these words with hyphens, though they are often seen as two, separate words without hyphens or more rarely, as one word without a spaces or hyphens.

VSF launches peace building project in Yobe
The Victims Support Fund (VSF) on Wednesday launched its peace building project in Damaturu, Yobe, to promote peaceful coexistence among communities in the North-East.
The Executive Secretary of the fund, Prof. Sunday Ochoche, said the project was aimed at rebuilding and strengthening peace in the communities to enhance resettlement and rehabilitation.
Ochoche said the fund had over the years contributed to the rebuilding, reconstruction and rehabilitation of affected persons in the North-East and was committed toward restoring hope among the returnee communities.
"VSF has been actively involved in the peace building process in the North-East over the years and we will continue to do that to achieve lasting peace.
"We have been dealing with economic, educational, health and security components; this peace initiative will bring back the confidence lost in the minds of the people," he said.
Newsmen report that the project brought together stakeholders from religious and traditional institutions, politicians, security, the civil service, the youth and the media to promote and strengthen peace in the communities.
The stakeholders assured to work together to sustain the peace and security achieved across the state for socio-economic growth of the people, region and country.
Ustaz Hudu Mohammed, an Islamic cleric, who represented Muslim faithful, said the message would be passed to all Muslims across the state.
Similarly, Pastor Martin Ikem of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) said Christian followers would be adequately sensitised to the need to embrace peace at all times.
NAN reports that the peace building project was part of the resettlement, reconstruction and rehabilitation programme of the fund.
