When you give an estimate and pull the numbers from your ass.
The mechanic had no idea what the problem was so he gave me an anal estimate.

The practice of project cost estimation based on the weight and/or thickness of the construction plans not on content. Also acompanied by the phrase: "What spec. book?"
This term transponds all fields of construction.
Estimator 1: Looks like the plans weigh 10 pounds.
Estimator 2: Alright based on subcontractor estimating this one will cost 1 Million. Send in the bid.
Estimator 1: What about the spec. book?
Estimator 2: What spec. book? Just send it in already!
