On the way home from dinner Saturday night:
Me to Kai-Yan: …And they’ll like, guesstimate how much…
The Boss: Guesstimate?
Me: Yeah, guesstimate. So they’ll guesstimate…
The Boss: Do you mean estimate?
Me: No, I mean guesstimate.
The Boss: Guesstimate is not a word.
Me: Yes it is.
Ryan: I’ll Google it.
The Boss: Okay, what does it mean?
Me: Estimate is like when you have an idea, but guesstimate is like when you’re more guessing.
The Boss: What? That’s like saying ginormous.
Me: Well ginormous is a word, too.
Ryan: Found it!
The Boss: It’s not a word.
Ryan: Yup. It’s a word.
The Boss: Yeah, on Google.
Ryan: Nope, on Dictionary.com. It says, “To estimate without substantial basis in facts or statistics.”
Me: BAM.
Ryan: Dude, she’s the journalist.
Kai-Yan: Yeah, she’s the professional writer.
The Boss: Estimate, guesstimate…
The Boss: Stephanie would have made you edit that.

“Man in the early times was almost naked, and as his intellect evolved he started wearing clothes. What I am today and what I’m wearing represents the highest level of thought and civilization that man has achieved, and is not regressive. It’s the removal of clothes again that is regressive back to ancient times” - Nobel laureate, Tawakul Karman, in response to journalists who said her hijab was not proportionate with her level of intellect and education.

LOL. Yep, despite the fact that it’s a real word… it just looks so weird when you write it!
LOL, poor Boss
I use guesstimate ALL the time. Thanks for the vindication, Ryan and Dictionary.com
guesstimate sounds like “estimating the number of guests” lol
