Guesstimated

Making a reasonable assumption with logic and then just going for it.

I had to read an analogue clock for a quiz so I guesstimated it was 3:30 because it was around halfway and I don't know how to read clocks.

guesstimatrix

Someone who thinks they can estimate cost or duration of a renovation project but who have zero construction experience and really and truly has no clue what is involved. A Guesstimatrix, always a female, is obviously smarter overall than a Guesstimator. Despite this natural female smartitude, Guesstimatrices (plural) have no business estimating costs or duration of projects.

She’s planning another home reno! And we all know it’ll be 300% over-budget and take months longer than planned…next time that Guesstimatrix needs to hire a real contractor!

Guesstimate

a half-assed job at estimating.

Because I'm not very smart, i just guesstimated instead of actually thinking about it and making an estimate.

Guesstigate

The process of resolving a problem with little or no actual details, facts or clues.

Help desk e-mail received at work: please explain how the hours worked for the day are calculated for this employee.

Response: you must provide the employee name or ID and day you are referencing so I can assist with this inquiry.

Comment to co-worker: I'm so tired of having to guesstigate for these people!

guesstimate

An educated guess. A guesstimation is a guess, but at the same time an estimation.

I guesstimated that 95% of people in Zimbabwe think this word is cool.

2. To Guess; To draw a conclusion with little or no reason to believe so.

Bob: How high are we on this building?
Mark: I'd say about 10 stories.
Bob: That sounds like a good guesstimate.
Mark: (Silent in awe of Bobs stupidity)
