動詞
lowball (三人称単数 現在形 lowballs, 現在分詞 lowballing, 過去形および過去分詞形 lowballed)
- (transitive) to give an intentionally low estimate of anything, not necessarily with deceptive intent.
- 2020, Trump's ambitious plan as the US becomes the COVID-19 pandemic's new epicentre (Planet America)[2], ABC News In-depth (YouTube), spoken by John Barron (John Barron):
- It may be, but it is worth noting that if the mortality rate is as low as 0.7% as some experts now hope rather than between 3 and 5% as the data suggests so far, that is still a lot of dead Americans. Californian health officials are bracing for a 56% infection rate. In New York, they are talking about a range of between 30% and 80%, so if we just lowball that, that is close to seven hundred thousand dead Americans as a result of COVID-19. Modeling based on current social and economic disruption actually puts the number at 1.2 million people dying, all the way up to 2.2 million if no measures are taken to reduce contagion and the virus is allowed to run its course.
- (transitive) To give (a customer) a deceptively low price or cost estimate that one has no intention of honoring or to prepare a cost estimate deliberately and misleadingly low.
- (transitive) To make an offer well below an item's true value, often to take advantage of the seller's desperation or desire to sell the item quickly.
