wait it’s *not* honest????

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 4 May 2018 00:29 (eight years ago)

i’m so old i remember when it was on irc and usenet and shit and was always “humble”

I’ve never said “honest opinion” because calling yourself honest is worse than feigning self-effacing right

If I humiliate myself often enough, do I get to call myself humble?

wtf about imho! I feel like finding one of those "internet for dummies" books from like 1995 and waving the "internet lingo" box on page 23 in the "honest" people's faces. Do you see!

Dan I., Friday, 4 May 2018 02:02 (eight years ago)

done and dusted (Ross), Friday, 4 May 2018 05:05 (eight years ago)

Its def hunble - I've been online since like the mid 90s and it was always humble

Or its better cousin IMNSHO (in my not so humble opinion).

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 4 May 2018 05:19 (eight years ago)

flappy bird, Friday, 4 May 2018 05:21 (eight years ago)

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 4 May 2018 05:24 (eight years ago)

done and dusted (Ross), Friday, 4 May 2018 05:24 (eight years ago)

BTW I thought this thread had clusterfucked because "may the 4th be with you".

NO. ITS AS FUNNY AS TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY.

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 4 May 2018 05:38 (eight years ago)

...and Talk Like a Pirate Day is only funny like once.

Dan, gah, I had forgotten that people used to buy books to tell them how to internet.

to be fair IANAL was tough to parse in the era of iEverything.

startled macropod (MatthewK), Friday, 4 May 2018 08:44 (eight years ago)

fixation on words used as opposed to addressing the general thrust of a point/comment/whatever is the weakest of sauce and is to the fore of everything that is wrong with ilx/politics/the world

imho

F# A# (∞), Friday, 4 May 2018 09:20 (eight years ago)

Eh. I'm pretty sure it's "honest" for most people

Evan, Friday, 4 May 2018 11:36 (eight years ago)

At this point. But hey maybe not

Evan, Friday, 4 May 2018 11:40 (eight years ago)

thots and players (rip van wanko), Friday, 4 May 2018 12:10 (eight years ago)

lol @ "This is disturbing" for real?

mark me down for the need to FEEL DEEPLY AND PUBLICLY about every single subject known to man, including how people use insignificant acronyms. yall, why so emo?

Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 4 May 2018 12:51 (eight years ago)

maybe his life is the greatest most stress free life anyone has ever known and this really is the most disturbing thing he has ever encountered

Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 4 May 2018 12:52 (eight years ago)

“In my humble opinion” predates the internet, right?

Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Friday, 4 May 2018 14:13 (eight years ago)

Sounds like a civil servant phrase, totally

hepatitis groan (Noodle Vague), Friday, 4 May 2018 14:15 (eight years ago)

In my experience IMHO is often tweaked to IMNSHO for "in my not-so-humble opinion."

So would partisans on the "honest" side read IMNSHO as "in my not-so-honest opinion"?

I mean, WTF?

NO REGERTS (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 4 May 2018 14:23 (eight years ago)

(by the way WTF can either stand for What Tiny Frogs or Wet Tinsel Failures)

NO REGERTS (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 4 May 2018 14:24 (eight years ago)
