IMHO?
 
What do you guys think of when you see this in a post? Some people I know think of "in my honest opinion," others I know think of "in my humble opinion." What about y'all?

David Kelly 24-07-2001 22:57

the first one

Andy A. 24-07-2001 23:12

I always assume humble, unless I'm using it. In that case its 'in my holy opinion'.

Go figure.

whoops, i meant the 2nd one. i read it too fast.

Karl 24-07-2001 23:30

I think it means somebody was too lazy to type out what they meant so they decided to use a trite and meaningless contraction.

In My Honest Opinion
 
I always thought it meant this, cuz I thought it meant that your trueful about what your saying. Switching the word, might just change the meaning...

As far as I know, it originally meant "In My Humble Opinion" (that's at least what it was back around '95). That also explains the etymology of IMNSHO.

*sicks the man/shark/sub thingie on Andy*

IMHO (yes, that's holy in my case), only I may have a holy opinion.

Christina 25-07-2001 17:21

Hmm...when I first saw it, I thought it was in my honest opinion. But as I thought about it, in my humble opinion seemed to make more sense. So, I guess I'll have to go with the latter.

WOOHOO! I'M RIGHT!(well, probably at least). I guess there IS a first time for everything.

David Kelly 25-07-2001 20:23

my sister actually uses these things like "lol" "gtg" while she talks on the phone. she's about 13 or something and i always make fun of her for doing it.

A. Leese 25-07-2001 21:14

I'm not sure exactly what it really means..but I've always heard in my humble opinion. then again..if you really are humble..you put others first and you really shouldn't be worried about giving your opinion..just my two cents (whether I made sense or not..haha! a dumb pun!)

~Angela who has enough time to think of these things
