Guess (styled as GUESS or Guess?) is an American upscale clothing brand and retailer. Guess also markets other fashion accessories besides clothes, such as watches, jewelry and perfumes. The company also owns the line Marciano.
Brothers Paul and Maurice Marciano moved to Los Angeles in 1981 and opened their first store in upscale Beverly Hills area. Guess soon began advertising, and later introduced their iconic black-and-white ads in 1985. The ads have won numerous Clio Awards. Their fashion models have included a number of supermodels, many of whom, such as Claudia Schiffer, Anna Nicole Smith, Eva Herzigova, Valeria Mazza, Kate Upton, Julia Lescova, and Laetitia Casta, first achieved prominence via these ad campaigns.
In the 1985 Robert Zemeckis movie, Back to the Future, Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) wore distinctive Guess denim clothing, reportedly designed specifically for the film.
During the 1980s Guess was one of the most popular brands of jeans. The company was one of the first companies to create designer jeans. While the first jeans were for women, in 1983 a men's line debuted. In 1984 Guess introduced its new line of watches known as "Guess", "Guess Steel", and the "Guess Collection". The watch line is still in existence today, and has been joined by a number of other accessory sidelines. In 1984, they also introduced a line of baby's clothes, called "Baby Guess". The line is now incorporated with clothing for toddlers and kids called GUESS kids.
A guess (or an act of guessing) is a swift conclusion drawn from data directly at hand, and held as probable or tentative, while the person making the guess (the guesser) admittedly lacks material for a greater degree of certainty. A guess is also an unstable answer, as it is "always putative, fallible, open to further revision and interpretation, and validated against the horizon of possible meanings by showing that one interpretation is more probable than another in light of what we already know". In many of its uses, "the meaning of guessing is assumed as implicitly understood", and the term is therefore often used without being meticulously defined. Guessing may combine elements of deduction, induction, abduction, and the purely random selection of one choice from a set of options. Guessing may also involve the intuition of the guesser, who may have a "gut feeling" about which answer is correct without necessarily being able to articulate a reason for having this feeling.
A guess is a conjecture or estimation. To "guess" is to make a prediction without sufficient information or knowledge.
Guess, GUESS, or Guessing may also refer to:

Krayzie
Nigga, these days, we kill you much quicker to get us some paper/ you feelin'
These days, you gotta be packin' a gun; everybody your enemy/ these days, it's
Every nigga for they self
'cause it ain't no such thing as friends and wealth, so nice niggas get left/ and
That's why
These days, you gotta be raw out here on the streets/ tell 'em, these days
You can't be fuckin' with niggas that's weak/ and these days, no tellin' when
You'll meet your coffin
I seen it too often, that's why fuck flossin' I take caution/ don't trip, shit
If you're rich, you're rich
'cause if you slip, somebody waitin' to get at you/ grab your cash and split your
Shit
These days, stay on the low-low and away from po-po/ unless you're ready to pull
Your fo'-fo' and blow/ how come these days niggas wanna be the don of the mob?
They claim it, but they never qualify for the job/ these days
We bustin' at muthafuckers quicker, simply 'cause it's 1999, nigga....

K-mont
Hey yo, I'm straight out of the bricks, and y'all ain't worthy to serve me/ i'm
The type to jump out your bushes and bust you
With the 30,30 you want beef? I pack pistol packin' utilities/ I'm the type of
Nigga that'll send letterbombs to all my enemies
I can't even walk to the airport for bein' who I was/ the police all on my dick,
Because they recognize a thug/ nigga,
We tryin' to get money, we don't respect the police/ until us thugs unite, it
Ain't gon' never be no peace/ niggas be goin' to
School with nothin' but murda on they mind; givin' a fuck about teachers/
Bustin' shotguns and 9's/ picture the scenes
And screams and everybody runnin'/ get on your knees, and pray nigga, 'cause the
Son of the lord is comin'
You know I came in time; that's my frame of mind/ now I'm able to separate the
Deaf from the weak, dumb, and the blind
Niggas can't get none of mine/ not even some of mine/ just 'cause you got on a
Watch, nigga, don't mean you know the time
You stagnatin'/ you fags hatin' my motion/ from ocean to ocean, my magic potion
Is devotion/ the nerve to hate what i
Deserve to do wasn't a curse/ it was a signal; that's why that ass crashed,
Forgot to put on your blinker/ r.w.i.: rollin' while
Infatuated/ I graduated; now I want my masters/ y'all done agitated disaster,
And at every end's a start/ I slip in the art with
My heart and soul/ it's smart to roll, but dumb to come/ don't become the one i
Fold like a lawnchair/ you shouldn't have
Gone there/ what's the deal with the long stares? what's the purpose, jokers on
Earth surface to surface, and any problem is
Handled with same-day service? come on, come on, come on...
-refrain-
We run the blocks, stop the clocks, told the coppers to not set trip; it's our
Spot/ gave y'all shots, and let the drama pop
Don't escalate the 4-5-9, it's why we dead or alive/ point of survival/ let's
Get points with real niggas lives/ but you only see
Raw meat on streets; these niggas love their heat/ nowadays all bustas wanna
Thug like me
You see it be those ways that was so simple/ execution style to gristle/ from
The chair, heard 'em
Whistle for my nigga/ mental is money, murda, ridin', dumpin'
Head back to all of y'all since every niggas are hard and provin' they got the
Bigger balls
Scared of the laws, told what he saw and what he lookin' like/ broke him off in
The midnight
I spared his life I said this shit is tight
