guesstimate

a mix between guessing and estimating.

guess + estimate = guesstimate

its that simple.

me (looking at very confusing non-digital watch without any numbers): I guesstimate that it is about 3:06ish.

guesstimate

The way stupid people say "estimate". They either think they're being cute or clever, or else that it's an actual word. Since it's not any of these, science has yet to offer an explanation for people who consider use of this word acceptable.

My college trig teacher asked us to "guesstimate" values. I wanted to punch her in the mouth.

guesstimate

A combination of Guessing and Estimating you find the guesstimate by:
1. Guess
2. Estimate
3. Find the difference between the two.
4. Add them up
5. Divide by two
6. Plus 17
7. Subtract two
ALL DONE

YAY! I solved the problem by using the Guesstimate Strategy!
