Uppity

What DOES uppity mean? My car tag says UPPITY1 and i get a lot of amused glances.
To me Uppity means ... someone who thinks. someone who speaks out. someone who knows her own way.
I know when a woman says her mind she is labeled a lot of horrible names..and it is sad that so many women hide their thoughts and opionions for fear of being called such names.
So to me Uppity says it all... I AM a thinking woman..i DO my own thing... i TEACH my children to be themselves and
I speak my mind.

and im a nice person too :)
