Random House gives for "sass"
sass2, Informal.
–n.
1. impudent or disrespectful back talk: Both parents refuse to take any sass from their kids.
–v.t.
2. to answer back in an impudent manner: Don't sass your mother.
[1855–60, Amer.; back formation from SASSY1]

It's not much used in the Caribbean countries where the term que is used. I haven't heard it, but asked others and got puzzled looks. I used to think that vaya was only used in Spain, and it's good to know that it's used in Mexico too.

@Poli: It's not the first choice for the majority, but as far as I know, it's well understood and more or less often used.

...Although thinking it over, it might be a bit archaic. :thinking:

¡Vaya por Dios! ¡Qué cosas pasan con el idioma! :)

Good point.
