Assuming 

Like... A lot of people are doing the shit you're doing my guy. I also insert responses to multiple people at the same time. You have a tendency to undermine the shear volume of input I receive on a daily basis.
Hym "Really, guy you're adding people daily. And every response is something I've heard someone say! I'm actively talking on every position that is thrown at me. Words out of somebody's mouth. Heard by me. Said to me. Insinuating that I'm just making up positions that nobody holds is insulting. Why is that something you're assuming?"

Assuming 

Assuming is not the same thing as knowing, or being able to rely on something.
Assuming something that has been there, been doing good, or hasn't shown shown signs of failure in the last 12 years or more is guaranteed to be there tomorrow is a dangerous assumption. Never assume the machinations of a few people won't send everybody back to the Stone Age taking everything from today with it tomorrow. It would be everyone's undoing but people like that if everyone else kept assuming no harm would come to them, their people, their home, their business, or anything else ever again without a fight.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
