👉 USMT is a term coined by American comedian Adam Sandler for his character, Steve Thomas. The acronym stands for "Unfortunate Streetmart." It's a term used to describe situations where the person being referred to ends up in a situation that isn't at all what they were expecting.
For example, suppose someone asks Adam how he would handle an unexpected trip down the streetmart after running into his ex-girlfriend. Sandler could respond with "USMT," which would mean "Under the Mischief Wheel." "Under the Mischief Wheel" is a play on words where "mischievous wheel" refers to the misadventures and adventures of an unlikely character who ends up in a bizarre or unexpected situation, much like what happens when a streetmart gets into some trouble. The fun part about it is that it's always surprising how people react and act upon the situation they find themselves in. Sometimes, it leads to a humorous or even unsettling climax where things start spiraling out of control, just as Steve Thomas does in his character's adventures on the streetmart.
