Guesstimate = • noun / an estimate based on a mixture of guesswork and calculation.• verb / estimate in such a way. "The word is usually not considered correct in formal English. Most if not all users of the word would be aware of this, and would use the word in a humorous or informal way. However, both the Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster include definitions for "guesstimate" and, according to the OED, it has been used in print as early as 1936."
So should Guesstimation be added? Curious.... hey and what do you think about relaction? - its not relaxation, its more like relaxed action... or is that just completely shite?
