| Mr. Nebbish seems like the perfect, safe choice if you've been smacked around by relationships. |
| The conversation had a Kafkaesque quality to it, which is to say, it smacked of police-state mentality and measures. |
| Worse still, it smacked of the little boy who refuses to let go of one ball even when he has another tucked under his arm. |
| Amoruso rose to meet a Ricksen corner and the ball broke in the six-yard box and Flo smacked it into the net for his 21st of the season. |
| He is a well-balanced boy with a clear understanding of what is right and wrong, and always gets an explanation when smacked. |
| The problems associated with the old rules just smacked of anticompetitiveness. |
