One and a half smart

If you are wondering what that heading means you are clearly half smart. One smart people can immediately guess what it means. And One and a half smart people have already opened google translate and are patting themselves on their back for their advance brains. 

It means 'Dedh Hoshiyar' you snail ! Thats a hindi phrase for someone who does something that he thinks is smart but looks stupid to others. Its close to being a smart ass.Ill give you an example of a dedh hoshiyar.

I work in the Power sector. Back in my last plant(Power plant) there was one particular field operator, who was lazy and irresponsible.He didn't take much interest in his responsibilities which included making rounds of inspection of various pumps and motors under his watch. So one day one of my seniors,lets call him A, decides to test the guy. A takes the operator to a series of pumps called the DM Water Pumps. There were three of them one beside the other. They are usually named in alphabetical order like Pump A, Pump B and so on. Now these pumps were under the watch of that operator. A takes him there, stands in front of the pumps and asks him ''Tell me the names of the pumps. Which is A B and C?'' 

This operator guys thinks for a while and slowly says ''Sir I am not sure about the left and the right but the one in the middle is B'' 

That, my friends is a perfect example of a Dedh Hoshiyar.
