The meaning of:
YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE
This idiom is used when a person doesn’t know the answer to a question.
To avoid saying: “I don’t know”, some people say: “your guess is as good as mine”
Let’s look at two illustrated sentence examples . . .
Slide 4:
In the picture we see a group of runners participating in a charity race.
1st runner: “Do you think it’s going to rain?”
2nd runner: “Your guess is as good as mine!”
Here’s another example . . .
Slide 5:
In the picture we see people sat waiting at a bus stop.
1st lady: “How long do you think we will have to wait?”
2nd lady: “I have absolutely no idea. Your guess is as good as mine.”
Note: In this example the lady freely admits she doesn’t know, and then adds “your guess is as good as mine” for emphasis.
Slide 6:
So remember, if you want to indicate you don’t know the answer to a certain question, you can always reply:
“YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE”
