I've noticed that dd has started azzuming, which I find odd. Trying to work out where she got it from -presumably school (which is fairly posh. Is this a posh thing?)

I'm Swedish but have only heard of 'assume' - never 'azzume'!

I've encountered assume and ashume but never azzume - and I know lots of vair posh people.

Never heard azzume. And no, it definitely wouldn't be posh.

AdoraBell · 23/06/2014 18:57

If I azzumed I couldn't make an ass out u and meGrin

OK. Not posh. Just odd.

Thanks. Grin

Sounds more West Country than posh when I say azzume out loud.

Über-RP would be more 'assyume' wouldn't it?

Oh yes, the Queen would probably sound like she was sneezing at high pitch or something: "Aaaass - Hume". Grin

I have been heard the word "assume" read as "azzume" by our teacher in history who trained us and told us about Gen. Paulino Santos....

lagbangmarjun · 10/10/2016 13:53

Commonly used in starting to fulfill the duty for the first time....
