The word you meant to use is DEFT and it is a very flattering one, there now you can add to that the words smart arse.
I thank ew

Delft
City in the Netherlands
Delft, a canal-ringed city in the western Netherlands, is known as the manufacturing base for Delftware, hand-painted blue-and-white pottery. In its old town, the medieval Oude Kerk is the burial site of native son and Dutch Master painter Johannes Vermeer. Once the seat of the royal House of Orange, the 15th-century Nieuwe Kerk houses the family's tombs and overlooks Delft's lively market square

My apologies to Gummy for my poor punctuation which gives the impression that smart arse refers to Gummy.
It does not & was totally a poorly judged self-deprecating remark on my part.
sorry

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
spittie is a smart arse too because he doubled dutch - and RJ has been polishing his rapiers of steel and has drawn blood - thank you RJ you have thrown the gauntlet down!!charge!!!!! wheel chairs at the ready [motorized accepted]
I once had a girl with motor eyes - every time I looked into them they sent me spinning - she also had a hard clutch pedal [but the least touched upon that the better] however her reclining chairs were a sheer delight and her full beam catastrophic. Mind you everytime she grabbed my handbrake it made me giggle.
RJ - did you realize we are now; today; this very instance misusing English words constantly - take my choice of the word " sheer" I was challenged to use "shere" but knowing you where lurking around every corner did a spell check - to my amazement I found a Shere village in Surrey and then any number of webpages; businesses all using the monogram " a shere delight" for selling all assortment of goods including chocolate assortments!!
Oh dear how DOES nurse Vivian cope with it all??
