I've been looking through some old threadds because I was bored practically to tears.

You ever notice that when someone use 'In my Humble Opinion,' they're usually about as far from 'Humble' as you can get?

Imho, you are wrong.

(Isn't that an original and totally unexpected answer ?)


IMHO here are some examples.

IMHO your wrong and I'm right.

IMHO your playing the game wrong.

IMHO you're a grammer NAZI.

IMHO your HO is completly off topic and should be banned.

I think the IMHO can also mean In My HONEST Opinion. Neither really necessitate curtosy, or rather NOT being rude, per se.

Hmm... That actually makes sense, but I've never heard it stated like that. I don't really know.


I always thought IMHO was ironic on purpose. That's how I use it.

It's like when someone says, "I'm not racist but..." or, "I don't want to get into this but..." you know the very next thing they say will be exactly that.


I just use IMO instead; it avoids the whole humility issue.


Honest or humble?
Well http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/IMHO - says both...

Im NOT really a humble person - and as Kydeem has noticed neither are most other people on the forums.

Honest - as in "to the best of my knowledge" or "if-i'm-wrong-I'm-not lying-on-intentionally" - that's how i intend my use of IMHO.

I usually say "In my less-than-humble opinion..."

Why should I bother with humility? I know how great I am, and once I bestow my opinion upon you, you will know how great I am as well.

In My Harkonnen Opinion...

In My Hamper of Onions


IMHO, I don't think that term implies that one need approach the expression of one's opinion with timidity. All the "H" represents is the self-deprecating acknowledgement of one's own sense of subjectivity and fallibility.


I use "imho" as "honest" not "humble." If I had ever used it and meant "humble" it would have been intentionally ironic.


Moving thread.


Opinions cannot be true or false, so saying In My Honest Opinion is simply wrong. In my humble opinion, of course. :p


I like to say "in my ever-so humble opinion" so people know I'm being ironic.

****** IMHO In My Humble Opinion
***** IMHO In My Honest Opinion
**** IMHO Is My Hearing Aid on?
*** IMHO Internet Media House (Russian media-buying agency)
*** IMHO In My Holy Opinion
** IMHO In My Hesitating Opinion
** IMHO In My Highest Opinion
* IMHO International Medical Health Organisation

Personally I always think #2, because yeah it's so "hard to be humble"

Silver Crusade

I am using In My Holy Opinion from now on!!


If you aren't a member of the Commonwealth Party of Galt (M-L), you are, imho, a stooge of the plutocracy.

Plutocracy (from Ancient Greek ploutos, meaning "wealth", and kratos, meaning "power, rule") is rule by the wealthy, or power provided by wealth. The combination of both plutocracy and oligarchy, (from Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía); from ὀλίγος (olígos), meaning "a few", and ἄρχω (archo), meaning "to rule or to command")which is a form of power structure in which power effectively rests with a small number of people. These people could be distinguished by royalty, wealth, family ties, corporate, or military control. Such states are often controlled by a few prominent families who pass their influence from one generation to the next, is called plutarchy.

clear as muddddd
