What's the difference between intelligent and smart?

How would you define a smart person and an intelligent person? And what is better to be? Also, I've heard a lot of people calling each-other 'smart'. Is this flattery? Is 'smart' an over-used word (especially to praise the other person or vice-versa)?|||Intelligence implies higher learning levels, and higher education.


Smart is a learned application.


Smart can be applied to sarcasm.

"Smart" refers to quick intelligence and often a ready capability for taking care of one's own interests (Smart lawyers can effectively manipulate juries.).
