A term used to describe the act of sarcasm or rude, back-talking behavior. It is typically a word that most adults find appropriate in defense to a younger person. Adults were likely called the term in their younger days and despise ever being called that again. They will therefore call someone the name to feel superior and have the upper hand.
Adult: You need to go take a five minute time-out in your room.
Kid: What for? I didn't do anything!
Adult: Well sure you did! Now you're just being a sassafras!
Kid: FINE!!!
