English term or phrase: talky-smart
The context: "At Yale Rothko (the Jewish-Russian-American artist) felt the sting of the WASPs all the same. If they couldn't actually evict the talky-smart kikes...". I know that "kikes" is a derogatory term for "jews". But I don't understand "talky-smart" (if not literally). Thanks. Massimo
