Definder - what does the word mean?

What is off the hip?

To estimate or explain something with little or no data, usually when the problem is brought to attention. Probably a slang term derived from a cowboy pulling his gun "off the hip" for little or no reason.

I asked for july's sale numbers, and the off the hip response was around 100,000 dollars.

My boss asked me why the servers kept crashing. "Off the hip, I would say it's because they're not plugged into a UPS, and the power is not clean. But I would really need to review the crash logs for a more authoritative answer".

Off the hip - what is it?

an unquestionable amount of loyalty; literally, the term to come up off the hip means to kill for someone (i.e. bring the gun up from the holster), but the term can be used simply to express how loyal a friend is
