SASSY is one of those words that sits on the line between compliment and complaint. We use it smilingly when a three-year-old repeats “no” with anything resembling conviction. It becomes unmannerly, insolent, or rude as that three-year-old becomes a teenager. Sassy grandmas are fun, sassy middle schoolers much less so.
