If an older person describes a younger person as sassy, they mean that they are disrespectful in a lively, confident way.
lively, bold, and full of spirit; cheeky
mid 19th cent.: variant of saucy
Sorry, I do not know a better US term for spirited.
Don't worry, sassy is fine!
Thank you, I did a dictionary check to be sure.
Spirited means headstrong, full of piss, unwaveringly independent, not bowing to anyone, etc.
Sassy is altogether different, depending on context it is being displayed; e.g. a teen talking back to his/her parents is "giving Sass".
Thanks. Learn something new every day :)
