is it in there?
Suggestions for smat:
1. somat-
2. smut
3. smote
4. samite
5. Semite
6. smite
7. summate
8. SMaj
9. smart
10. small
11. SMA
12. smalt
13. smack

Given it was option 9 (ok i was nagging there :p ). Why in heaven's name would u want to stop its use (even if that would be possible)?

not BRISK, SPIRITED, BRIGHT, NOWLEDGEABLE, SHREWD, WITTY, CLEVER, PERT, SAUCY, NEAT, TRIM, SOPHISTICATED nor INTELLIGENT imo ;) (m-w (http://www.m-w.com))

it is fundamentally impossible to remove a word from our language. we gain more and more words each day, and the thing that makes english so unique is the fact that we have so many different works for everything. as mentioned above, there are a lot of other works that mean essentially the same thing as "smart"
