GASSTIMATION

Today’s word: GASSTIMATION (noun)

gas·sti·ma·tion (gas-stuh-MAY-shun)

Definition:
Calculating exactly how far your gas tank will stretch based entirely on hope, optimism, and refusing to stop at the gas station.

Example:
“The low fuel light’s been on for 20 miles, but I’m running on pure gasstimation now.”

The Untold Chronicle Note:
Gasstimation is not recognized by mechanics, fuel gauges, or common sense… but somehow, every Oklahoman has a PhD in it.
