proActive (asker) Jun 13, 2006:
Actually, I am looking for a Romanian counterpart of the verb “to assume” that would hint to the slang meaning when hyphenated or slightly modified. The idea of the broader paragraph: Never make assumptions in business! You ass-u-me when you assume… So, I intend to keep “to assume” in there.

I considered: “a prost-o-pune” (instead of “a presupune”) or “a supozita” instead of “a face supozitii” but, well… I hope you come up with something better than that.

Ass U Me: A Cautionary Tale For Bloggers

10:10 PM

There is an old saying from my youth that goes: When we assume we often make an ass of you and me. This shop-worn ditty is in my thoughts because it has happened: I assumed something, and in so doing made an ass of myself and a fellow blogger. And therein lies a cautionary tale that I dare say is probably instructive for us all.
