Saturday 7 January 7-by-many FAIRNESS puzzle
« on: January 09, 2023, 02:47:57 PM »
SASSINESS/ES – the state of being sassy/saucy https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/sassy (you’ll need to scroll down, Alan)
The greenest watt ever produced is the one you never use. Playing as jk1956 & John is my name.
When we come out of the Covid-19 crisis, we need to make sure recovery efforts address the Climate Crisis (which can't be solved using social distancing!)

I'll accept sassiness. It's in a few dictionaries. A recent usage example is from a TV review in the Globe and Mail:

Quote
There is Gaby (Jessica Williams), whose sassiness only slightly masks the turmoil she’s going through in her own marriage...

But I don't buy the plural. I see sassiness as an uncountable noun, and I can't imagine how you would use sassinesses.
