Dictionary meaning
the application of intelligence, creativity, and good judgement to solve problems efficiently, often by finding unexpected angles, unconventional approaches, or elegant simplifications that less reflective actors would overlook; smart thinking implies not merely the possession of knowledge but the ability to apply it flexibly, to recognise the essential structure of a problem beneath its surface complexity, and to allocate cognitive resources effectively; the phrase is used both as an appreciation of genuinely insightful reasoning and — in its more ironic register — as a label for cleverness that mistakes sophistication for wisdom
