guess list

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

The tentative roster of people you tell someone when inviting them to an event—a beautiful blend of confirmed attendees, maybes, chronic no-shows, and unexpected gate-crashers that never matches reality.

Example Usage

"Is anyone else coming to the party tonight?" "Well, the guess list includes about ten people, but honestly, I'd bet money only half of them actually show up."
