It's an older slang but it still checks out. Swag

I haven't heard it used that way in a while though

Don't forget it could also have been the Indian Ocean or the Arctic Ocean or the Antarctic.

Was she asking for an estimate? Scientific/Sophisticated Wild Ass Guess (SWAG) is pretty common in project management, government, and some corporate environments.
