Reasons for Sassy Quotes

Reasons for Sassy Quotes

Sassy quotes are usually funny, but can sometimes sound mean, arrogant or even offensive. They are thus perfectly suited for retorts and for promoting your quick wit.

If you are cynical or in a bad mood, you’ll identify with some sassy sayings.

But always convey them with a wink and make sure that the other person doesn’t take them too seriously.

In addition, you should assess the situation well before you let loose a cheeky remark. Business lunches, for example, are not a good occasion. Friends and family, on the other hand, will be more likely to understand your humor. Memorize the sayings, post them as a status on WhatsApp, post them on social media or send them in a private chat.
