“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)

Look, I know! But I feel like I hear people actually SAY "in my honest opinion, blah blah blah" so I'd be inclined to believe that there's a reasonable chance many or most are in that camp. I could be way off.

in my fictionalized opinion

k bups (rip van wanko), Friday, 4 May 2018 17:25 (eight years ago)

in my humdrum opinion

F# A# (∞), Friday, 4 May 2018 17:26 (eight years ago)

people say "do you want my honest opinion?" but I have seldom heard "in my honest opinion"

mh, Friday, 4 May 2018 18:17 (eight years ago)

Yeah that and “I’ll give you my honest opinion” are constructions that people actually use, nobody says “in my honest opinion” really

Whereas “in my humble opinion” as stated above was in common use pre-internet (WAY pre-internet would be my guess)

type your stinkin prose off me, ur damned qwerty uiop (wins), Friday, 4 May 2018 18:25 (eight years ago)

Have always thought it was honest. :(

opinions are like assholes, one of the body’s more humble orifices

type your stinkin prose off me, ur damned qwerty uiop (wins), Friday, 4 May 2018 18:40 (eight years ago)

Wins unfuckwithable as usual

That’s All Folks... (Ross), Friday, 4 May 2018 18:45 (eight years ago)

"wrong opinion" is the biggest offender

Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 4 May 2018 19:35 (eight years ago)

In more humble orifices

Evan, Friday, 4 May 2018 19:37 (eight years ago)

taking sides: in my hairy orifices vs in my hirsute orifices

F# A# (∞), Friday, 4 May 2018 19:38 (eight years ago)

“imwo” has a good ring to it

darragh could deploy it well

mh, Saturday, 5 May 2018 01:48 (eight years ago)

lol 'in my wicked opinion'

flappy bird, Saturday, 5 May 2018 04:00 (eight years ago)

this doesn’t annoy me but since everyone’s here i have a question: why ‘latinx’ instead of just ‘latin’?

mookieproof, Saturday, 5 May 2018 08:27 (eight years ago)

Because it’s non-gender specific and ‘latin’ as adjective has a wider remit than describing people. Also, this is the descriptor Latinx people they keep saying they prefer.

“imwo” has a good ring to it
darragh could deploy it well

In my waspish opinion.

Kanye O'er Frae France? (Tom D.), Saturday, 5 May 2018 09:54 (eight years ago)

That was pish in my opinion

type your stinkin prose off me, ur damned qwerty uiop (wins), Saturday, 5 May 2018 09:56 (eight years ago)

Ooh, clever.

Kanye O'er Frae France? (Tom D.), Saturday, 5 May 2018 09:59 (eight years ago)

I am still kinda sad latinx won out over latin@

valorous wokelord (silby), Saturday, 5 May 2018 15:01 (eight years ago)

it was inspired by Adam’s wrong opinion post

imwo = in my wrong opinion

mh, Saturday, 5 May 2018 16:33 (eight years ago)

lol that is awesome

Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 5 May 2018 16:45 (eight years ago)

i see "clutching my pearls" all over the internet now and i blame drew matmos. he should be the only person who says that.

scott seward, Saturday, 5 May 2018 17:03 (eight years ago)

"alcohol is a depressant" to mean one can feel depressed when drinking alcohol

kinder, Saturday, 5 May 2018 19:25 (eight years ago)

Americans describing all drugs of abuse as “narcotics”. Cocaine and amphetamine are not exactly sleep-inducing.

startled macropod (MatthewK), Sunday, 6 May 2018 21:07 (eight years ago)

sometimes you really need to concentrate on sleep to get there

"Reaching out".
What happened to just contacting or getting in touch with someone? Reaching out my arse, fucking hell what a precious pile of shite.

Does anybody remember laughter? *audience screams* (Matt #2), Sunday, 6 May 2018 22:17 (eight years ago)

Wait, isn't "getting in touch" a similarly euphemistic phrase?

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Sunday, 6 May 2018 22:30 (eight years ago)

just shorting to 'touching' everyone happy

.b derf (darraghmac), Sunday, 6 May 2018 22:34 (eight years ago)

sending a text message, aka “invisible touch” (ah)

mh, Sunday, 6 May 2018 23:23 (eight years ago)

i like reach out but only because when i see/hear it i instantly hear the four tops REACH OUT! otherwise, i hate it very much

forensic plumber (harbl), Monday, 7 May 2018 00:10 (eight years ago)

poke

flappy bird, Monday, 7 May 2018 01:01 (eight years ago)

"Let that sink in." Typically follows immediate and obvious points that don't need to "sink in" at all.

"expertly trolled"
