Smart as a whip.


Thought of this one today when thinking about my dog, who is in fact as smart as a whip.


Of course I did my research before posting and I learned that at times, a similar expression has been "as smart as a steel trap."


I think a steel trap would smart even worse than a whip... (just to be clear, this is defining smart as a level of pain, not intelligence)

I'm not sure, but I've always thought it was the speed of the whip that was smart, not the sting of it.

I've always loved the word rapscallion. That's a smart, amusing rascal.

One of my all time favorite movies. And a very underrated martial arts choreography scene.
