Mezl 

To approximate or simplify to the point of extreme absurdity, with the aim of answering a completely irrelevant question. Often the effect is to further complicate the question, rather than simplify it.

Problems such as the number of glucose subunits needed to reach the moon, or questions requiring that the length of a day be rounded to 25 hours, can be solved if one simply "Mezls it."

Matt lost marks for answering a midterm problem stating that there are 24 hours in a day. The correct approach was to Mezl it and calculate the answer using 25 hours.
