protestimate

When you intentionally provide an inflated estimate for a task because you really don't want to do it and you're hoping it will be a non-starter due to it's perceived size/cost/duration.
The software engineer provided an 18-month protestimate to product management for the new architecture that would've replaced much of his previous work.

Get the protestimate mug.

acknowledgy

Similar to an apology, but without the inference of a responsible party or admission of guilt.
I received an acknowledgy from my friend who stood me up last week, they told me they felt really bad that I took it the wrong way.

procrastimate

When you wait just long enough to provide an estimate that there is no chance of actually getting the task done on time.
If the engineer hadn't procrastimated for 2 weeks, we would've known the feature wasn't going to make it in before we published the release notes.
