【デマカセ、demakase】
[It's written in Kanji as "出任せ", explanations below]In Japanese, the word "demakase" is formed from two verbs, 'to leave' and 'to let happen'. It refers to when someone lets words leave their mouth without much thought, i.e., when they speak carelessly.
Incidentally, "dema" is an abbreviation of the German word "demagogie (demagogue)", meaning "abetment" or "political incitement", and refers to baseless gossip, which is different from speaking without thinking.
