(n.) someone whose predictions or insights somehow always seem to turn out to be correct, but whom no one listens to or believes until it is too late. (From Cassandra of Troy, the prophetess who, for spurning Apollo, was cursed to always correctly foretell the future, but never to be believed).
Примеры использования:
"I told you: sell your shares before the stock-split, but nobody ever believes me." "Okay, so you're a cassandra -- I was wrong and you were right, okay? What do I do now?" "You should buy every share you can, now." "That's stupid: I won't do it." "Wow. I guess I really am a cassandra...don't blame me when you lose everything, okay?"
