smack 2n Two alternative modes of travel are the Canadian National Railways coastal boats and the "smack," a fish-collecting boat stationed at the fish plant in Community 2. 2. The term *smack" is a survival from West Country fishing (the southwestern coast of England), where the fish-collecting boat that used to be sent out to meet the fishing fleet was called a smack.
