I'm assuming you mean the British usage of the word "smart." Brits use this term to describe pain. An example would be, "Wow, my arm smarts this morning!" (Yes, that is read in a British accent, just like everything else you're about to read.)

Of course, the American negative connotation is when one is bullying another. Which isn't really negative connotation, so much as it is simply being used in a derogatory manner. Example, "Wow, you're such a dork. You just think you're so smart."

Hopefully this helped, and I sincerely hope you're still reading in a British accent, because I'm still typing in a British accent. ;)
