wild-ass
Feral Asian equine
Wild-ass is an intensifier meaning reckless, extreme, or pulled from nowhere: a wild-ass guess, some wild-ass scheme.
It emphasizes that something lacks basis in careful thought or planning.
The term derives from the untamed nature of wild asses (feral donkeys), though most users probably just hear it as emphatic profanity.
Often hyphenated before nouns.
