Kentucky Windage

A guess or SWAG at a subject. A fudge factor.

From the term for roughly aiming a rifle while allowing for any crosswind.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine.

You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
