guestimate

To guestimate is when you have no idea about something, but you don't want to sound like an idiot.
Its a careful combination of guessing what the topic is about and then estimating the correct answer.
Also another thing you could add to this is a statistic, as it makes your answer sound more valid and believable!

Paul: so what do you think of the whole el nino phenomenon?
You: in your head, what the FU*K? Thanks paul!
Now you guestimate

Step one guess... Ok so it sounds kinda mexican, doesn't nino mean grandchild? Ok so its something to do with mexicans, sounds like a dance...
Step two estimate an appropriate answer...every one likes dancing and mexicans make good food so I'm gonna like it.
Make up a statistic... 89% of americans think its a positive movement.
Helpful tip: you could always be wrong so answer briefly and not to in depth!
You: well I feel its a positive movement that's changing the world in a dramatic way, 89% of americans see it in a favorable light!
In your head- BOOM how u like me now paul!

Guessimate

To guess on every problem and only get 10% wrong.

Prologue - The only Greek member of the computer science community strolls into the class 7 minutes after the exam started. His shirt is torn, hanging loosely from one shoulder. Throw-up covers his slacks, to the knee-high region. With blood-shot eyes he slumbers down into the chair next to me. Letting out a long provocative groan, he begins his exam. After leaving the exam, this was my conversation

Dude - "Richie, how did you do on that exam?"

Richie - "Bruh, I guessed on every question."

Dude - "But didn't you get only 10% wrong?"

Richie - "Ya bruh, I guessimated that exam."

FYI Richie is the Greek Student

Guesstimate

To guess instead of actually using any proper way of estimating, therefore using less effort than estimating

It said to estimate in the math question, but I CBF so I guesstimated
