I've read, heard and saw a video on the subject with other people's opinions on it so I thought of sharing my own opinions.
From my experience, smart ass people always have a sense of overconfidence. Whenever they argue with others and try to outsmart everyone else, they are always with full confidence as if they could never be wrong.
Then they also have this arrogant attitude. This attitude of always being calm, sometimes humorous no matter what the subject is they are discussing and pretending to know everything about.
Smart asses also try to make you feel insecure about your knowledge on the subject. You are made to feel that you are stupid and you know nothing and the smart ass does.
Smart asses also "play with words" which is basically twisting every word or verbal challenge you throw at them and twist them around to make your arguments and/or challenges look stupid.
Smart ass people also never admit their wrong, even when I throw the truth right in front of their face, they say no.
As an example, I know this guy who is a smart ass. He more or less fits the description of the typical smart ass I have described above.
He insisted that the establishment of the state of Pakistani forced his maternal grandmother's family to move out of Bombay.
Even though his maternal grandmother insisted her father moved the family to Pakistan in search of opportunity right in front of both of us, right to his face, he blatantly refuses to believe it.
That's how stupid he looked in front himself, me and his maternal grandmother. The best solution to smart asses is to not argue with them or give them any sort of special attention.
Just laugh in their face or be sarcastic to their comments. Anything they say, it's important you do not respond with any sort of emotion. It only gives them the impression they can annoy you or 'outsmarted' you.
