A few weeks back someone told me I was "saucy".  From the way it was delivered, I believe it was intended as a compliment.  I was not 100% sure exactly what "saucy" meant so I looked it up on the internet.  Here are some of the definitions I found:

• Impertinent: characterized by a lightly pert and exuberant quality;
• Fresh: improperly forward or bold; 
• Impertinently bold and impudent;
• Amusingly forward and flippant; and,
• Irrepressible.

Hmmmm.

Pert?  That sounds so Stepford wife like…and there can be little debate about my qualifications as a Stepford wife…nothing could be further from the truth.

Exuberant…well, maybe on occasion…sometimes more appropriately termed spastic.

Improperly forward or bold…yeah, I may resemble that characterization on my braver days.

And as if being improperly forward and bold was not shocking enough, well try impertinently bold and impudent – yikes…sounds a tad misguided and mean-spirited.

Amusingly forward and flippant, well I have already owned the forward part, but flippant…perhaps…but only to obnoxious and egotistical jerks when they are being mean to other folks.

Irrepressible…that one I kinda’ like…not so sure it’s true though.

Really not so sure I am "saucy" at all.  I guess I should have asked the person who said I  was "saucy" how he defined it.  After all, the real definition is in the mind of the definer. Regardless of his definition I do believe I will work on being irrepressible and earning the "saucy" label. 🙂
