Like asses, do alecks come in the wise variety? And, just what is an aleck? Does it refer to a part of the body or a type of mammal as ass does? If so, where is my aleck or is it OK to covet thy neighbor’s aleck?

I’m only speculating, but wouldn’t one prefer that their aleck, like their ass, be smart instead of dumb? Perhaps one can train their dumb ass and/or aleck to be smart?
