      Can’t speak for op but it usually adds cheek. Sans’ use was revived a few decades ago. It tends to alter one’s tone to sound slightly stuffier, like putting on a top-hat and monocle. I’ve also seen it used more randomly by younger people who recently learned its meaning.

      Edit: disclaimer and use case

        I’m old, from when it was first revived, it’s slightly snarky and removes seriousness from a topic in the middle.
