guesstimaybe

I just came up with that word.

Estimate - suggests some level of accuracy
Guesstimate - best guess, based on limited info
Guesstimaybe - throw a dart on the wall and when giving a guesstimaybe, it's strongly to wave your hands in a fashion suggesting 'who the hell knows'.

Note: There is some question to the true etymology of the phrase, with other suggested spellings including 'gestimate', from 'gesture' rather than 'guess' (cf. "waving hands").
