assume the position

It could be viewed and used sexually... but in reality..

It is a statement that you make right before you make a big assumption. I'm not quite sure on the technicalities of it all but...

Assume (v)
6. To take for granted; suppose

Position (N)
6.A point of view or attitude on a certain question


So you are taking for granted, or supposing, on a point of view or attitude on a given subject.

If you say this around your friends, they will think of the nasty word first, but then you can impress them with your superior vocabulary skills.

This was possibly made popular from HBO's Robert Wuhl Assume the Position. Where he talks about things that history books tend to ignore.
"I'm going to assume the position, right off the bat, that history is pop culture." -Robert Wuhl

"I think it's safe to assume the position, that there was no such thing as a colonial quickie." -Robert Wuhl

No, he doesn't want you to treat him like a conquering hero if that's not who you really think the guy is. He would rather you let him know what you really think of him without the false optimism, that way he can let you know what he really thinks of you. You'll never know if he can actually handle what you say or do until after you grow the pair of balls you will need to say or do it directly, otherwise you'll have to assume you made him overthink.

Assumptions

Euclidean reasoning.
Hym "If by 'making assumptions' you mean assuming intuitively appealing axioms and deducing propositions from these, then, yes. And, yes, I have noticed that he has been substantiating these propositions (which is tight). Muh brains is fucking huge dawg. That's where all the pressure comes from. It's just muh big ole grey matter bulging out of my brain cage. Like some too tight jeans trying to contain a fat boner. I going to have to go out and buy a wheelbarrow pretty soon just to carry this motherfucker around."
