peer agreement (net): +1| guestimate valistunut arvaus Explanation: Tämä on slangahtava vastine puheessa kömpelölle ilmaukselle "educated guess". Toisin sanoen se on asiantuntijan arvaus. Viittenä antaisin saman linkin kuin Marju, vaikka käännösehdotukseni onkin eri. Mielestäni tämä ei ole "umpimähkäinen arvaus", vaan sitä voi ehkä pikemminkin pitää tavallista arvausta luotettavampana, koska se perustuu asiantuntijan näppituntumaan. |

peer agreement (net): +1hihalyysi Explanation: 'Guesstimate'hän on jonkinverran vitsaileva kooste sanoista 'guess' ja 'estimate' tarkoittaen arvailuun perustuvaa arviota. Samankaltainen, ehkä 'guesstimate'in pohjalta ja sille käännökseksi muodostettu, on 'hihalyysi'. Sen pohjana on ilmaisu 'vetää hihasta' (arvata) ja 'analyysi'. 'Hihalyysi' ei kuitenkaan tarkoita 'arvattua analyysia' vaan aivan samaa kuin 'guesstimate'kin, arvausarviota. |
