smart ass, leverage, duck-duck-goose
hello people, 1. can someone tell me what is the meaning of the word 'smart ass', my first impression is that it contains a derogatory meaning, is it negative, positive, or neutral in meaning? or depends on context? 2. what about 'leverage', i was reading some technical article, came across the word, looked it up in the dictionary but found only finance/economics related meaning. not what i was looking for. 3. while u'r at it, can someone tell me about the game'duck-duck-goose', what its purpose, what does it mean when a person not in the circle tags a person in the circle? then he/she skips some people...i didnt get it, what is 'tagging a person' here? thank you all for your attention and help.
