Talk:Sass

Unredirected
I made this into a disambiguation page based on the article history; however, I have not verified any of the disambiguations I provided. I've never heard of sasparilla being referred to as "sass" as the original edit remark suggested, and am unaware of it even being popular among contemporary young people. Whether it is a style sheet language should be easily verifiable to someone familiar with Haml. I could find no basis for the redirects to Butt and Butte, so I did not include them; they may simply have been vandalism. B7T (talk) 18:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Odd examples
Could someone scan the examples for vandalism? Some of the examples seem ridiculous, but I'm not sure. - Redmess (talk) 10:50, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Sass as a positive quality
is completely missing from this article. It is used (most commonly, in my experience, with women of African ancestry, but also for women in general) to mean "assertive" or "bold." Such behavior was, in the past, seen as impolite; a sassy woman was stepping outside the social roles expected of women, which is the connection with the meanings used in the article. I came across this article because of a comment I made in Talk:YolanDa Brown, saying that we should have a disambiguation page from Sass to her, and calling her a "jazz sassophonist." It was a compliment. Her PhD candidacy working poster is *very* sassy, i.e., fresh, bright, original, the opposite of stodgy or reserved or meek. Sass in performers is almost always positive, but we don't call it "sass" when it's a man. We call it "original" or "provocative." Sometimes, just plain "funny." Why funny? Well, humor generally involves a violation of expectations.... As to this article, it is pretty dull, don't you think? Maybe it needs a little ... sass.--Abd (talk) 17:55, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
