разг., неодобр.smb. is very shrewd (crafty, cunning, canny); smb. is a deep one; smb. knows very well what he is about; smb. is nobody's fool; cf. smb. knows which side his bread is buttered onКак и всем в отряде, командир казался Морозке необыкновенно правильным человеком. Но так как жизненный опыт подсказывал ему, что правильных людей не существует, то он старался убедить себя, что Левинсон, наоборот, - величайший жулик и "себе на уме". (А. Фадеев, Разгром) — As everybody else in the company, Morozka looked on the commander as an exceptional man. But since his whole experience of life had taught him that such men did not exist, he tried to convince himself that Levinson was, on the contrary, a rogue if there ever was one, and a cunning fellow.
- А ты хитёр, папаша, ты - себе на уме! - сказал Александр Михайлович. (М. Шолохов, Они сражались за Родину) — 'But you're a crafty fellow, grandad. You're nobody's fool!' Alexander Mikhailovich declared.
