2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

wild ass guess!

The {{wag}} tag, when inserted in an article, looks like this wild ass guess!. It means one of two things:

  1. What was just asserted in the text is presumed to be a totally wild guess, with no actual thought put into the guess.
  2. The author at the time knew they were making a totally exaggerated leap of logic and wanted to let people know.

In either case, realize the assertion given is an opinion, and take it with a grain of salt.
