(acronym, technical jargon) "Scientific Wild-Ass Guess" 1. An idea proposed by bringing together arguably similar understandings of established science, and then making a huge pile of assumptions, to reach a conclusion that you hope may not be completely wrong. "If it's gonna fall, it's gonna fall to the east, but that's a total SWAG so no guarantees." 2. (sarcastic) An obvious alternative, offered in response to some other alternative that is, itself absurd. "Not to discount his spiritual enlightenment, but just a SWAG here, maybe the dog just likes beef better than carrots." 3. A disclaimer that a well-considered guess is still just a guess; "My SWAG on this is a hundred pounds is safe and two-fifty will snap it like a twig."
