How Would You Spell....

[crisgal]

This is tricky as i really don't know how to spell this haha.
I am writing a poem and need to state that a dress code is smart casual. But I only have enough syllables for 'Smart caj/cash/cag?? How would you spell it to get that sound?
I hope someone knows what I mean!

cazh, I think - as being a softer sound than cash.

[Ken4155]

How about 'spruce'?

[Ken4155]

I may have misunderstood. Does it have to rhyme with a particular word? If so, what word?

[crisgal]

no it doesn't need to rhyme. it's an expression we use a lot here.

[Ken4155]

I'd go with 'smart cas' then as 'smart cash' can be interpreted as, well, the 'smart money' is on the fav. Caj sounds like your trying to borrow something:-) As for 'cag', surely that's a non-starter.

Chic. Slick. Snap. Neat. Suave.

I think I’m more inclined to Jno’s choice.

How about "Smart inf."

Smart informal.
