I think I heard these terms in Perú or Chile. I get confused by Spanish regionalisms.

Vivo means sharp, astuto, espabilado...

Listo means bright, witty, despierto, agudo...

Hmm, better wait for a native speaker on this one. I am probably mixing up subtleties.

Sometimes when someone is really slow in understanding something, people say
"Tan aveja" sarcastically or else call you a "lenteja" a lentil but in this context means "slow".

Tener calle y canchero es tipico lunfardo porteño (de Buenos Aires). Tener calle se refiere a una persona con experiencia, ya que en la calle se aprenden cosas de la vida. Hay una clasica frase que se le dice a algun abombado (atontado) "Cuantas horas de buzon te hacen falta pibe". Canchero, es una persona que se las sabe todas, o dice que se las sabe. Es la persona que siempre habla de todo y conoce de todo, y opina de todos los temas. Eso es ser canchero.

Avispado...no se usa mucho aca, pero es alguien despierto, todo lo contrario a atontado.

Ser avispado, somethings it´s related to be "smart". Somebody who take the best on his own interest in any situation. Been "inteligente" it´s just about knowledge or skillful in some areas. As for example, a boy who tell a lie to his mon in front of some´s mothers aquintace to earn some money it´s "avispado". Why? becouse he knows that she won´t refuse. But save that money instead in waisted in little things turn him into a "inteligent" fella.
