Generally for a smart aleck, you could say ******.

Note: That word is mostly used as an expletive or an insult. Please do not use such language, in either language. smile

I would disagree. The translation would fit better as "sabelotodo" like it was mentioned previously. The one you just proposed in your post is a harsh insult in most spanish speaking countries. - ZooZoo, Feb 17, 2011
This is a family-oriented site, so please watch your language. - LiveUnsheathed, Feb 17, 2011
Well, I wouldn't consider smart *ss high praise, so maybe a harsh insult is required. - 0074b507, Feb 17, 2011

Context would be nice. Are we talking about a mafia member? Someone impertinent? Someone "cracking wise"? (making wise cracks)
