The Romanian dictionary says that it means someone who easily gets out of trouble. In common speech it usually replaces the English "swag" and it's never used in a cultural context. :D
Also, you might find some Romanians who pronounce it as "jmecher", but this is wrong.
Hope that helped.

I'm not sure I can translate it into English. DEX has a few definitions you may find interesting, though. :-)

Smecher -> cool
Example: Masina aceasta este smechera.
This car is cool.
Smecherie -> trick
Example: El a inteles care a fost smecheria.
He understood which was the trick.
P.S: It is an informal word (slang word) and you should avoid to use it in a formal disscusion. Hope it was helpful.
