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.
