Fun Fact: The word sassy derives from a 16th century colloquial variant of the word saucy, or sauce. According to our friends at the Online Etymology Dictionary:
Saucy adj.
| sȯ-sē |
c. 1500, "resembling sauce" (a sense now obsolete), later, of persons, words, etc., "impertinent in speech or conduct, flippantly bold, cheeky" (1520s), from sauce (n.) + -y (2). The connecting notion is sauce in the figurative sense of "that which adds intensity, piquancy in words or actions."
Sauce, saucy, sassy — whatever the origin, the Saucy Six were certainly well-seasoned, coming in hot with a perfect-card Round 1 win. (Separated only by their knowledge that the edge of a chef's knife should be sharpened to 17-20 degrees.)
Unfortunately for the Six, they weren't the only team who came to play; they were bested by a near-perfect Whortados in Round 2. Determined — saucy, even — the Six's return trip to sit atop the throne was short, posting another perfect card in Round 3, with Live, Laugh, Corn and Diva Cup Nuclear Physics Carnation Bowl Classic — the latter of which won my "favorite team name of the night" prize for which they were awarded 0 points — trailing closely behind.
As the Six quietly exited before Round 4 began, the playing field opened up for another Whortados smash. And with their departure, Rounds 5 and 6 went handedly to a solo Diva Cup Classic, besting the disgustingly hilariously named Cousins in Love. The things I do (and say, out loud, in public) for you people….
Congratulations to all of the week's winners:
Editor's Note: The weather for this Thursday's sesh (Jan. 9) looks … saucy … to say the least. Forecasted snow could make it a gametime decision. Stay tuned.
