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

yeah…whatever he said
me, humble.
when i say that i mean “humble”
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.

thats what i thought…ive never actually heard anyone explain it as honest…
oh and karl, youre probably right, at least when i say it.
mike who knows hes lazy
sicks the man/shark/sub thingie on Andy
IMHO (yes, that’s holy in my case), only I may have a holy opinion.

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.
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.
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!)

Maybe you should post that as a symptom on the FIRST-aholics web site. I know that Anton says lol when he’s talking to people, it cracked me up at nats.

Er, please no. That has nothing to do with FIRST in any way, shape, or form. And I don’t want to be associated with that.

I’d say thats a smart move
OK. Maybe it’s a sign that you spend too much time on the computer.
