Scientific wild a** guess
CensoredSWAG stands for "scientific wild a** guess," which is a term that refers to an estimate given at a moment's notice or "off the cuff." It is commonly used in project management and military contexts.
SWAG includes the term "scientific" jokingly since there is little thought given to the estimate due to the small amount of time allotted for the thinking process. It may also be seen as "Sophisticated wild a** guess" and "Simple wild a** guess."
One instance when you would see a SWAG is when the project manager at a construction site needs to estimate the cost of a last-minute architectural change. Another example is when a platoon leader needs to estimate how long it will take his troops to march up a muddy hill when a downpour begins.
