HEURISTIC
I came across this word in my daily jog around my common Web sites. I must have read it before and been able to put it into context without a second thought, but today I realized I had no idea how to use it in real life. So I looked it up:
From Wikipedia: A 'heuristic (hy -ˈris-tik)' is a method to help solve a problem, commonly informal. It is particularly used for a method that often rapidly leads to a solution that is usually reasonably close to the best possible answer. Heuristics are "rules of thumb", educated guesses, intuitive judgments or simply common sense.
Well, how's that for irony?
Love it!
