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?

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.

― mh, Friday, 4 May 2018 18:17 (six years ago) link
Yeah that and “I’ll give you my honest opinion” are constructions that people actually use, nobody says “in my honest opinion” reallyWhereas “in my humble opinion” as stated above was in common use pre-internet (WAY pre-internet would be my guess)

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 (six years ago) link
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.

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

both execrable, yes. i feel like "let that sink in" is on its way out though - i rarely see it used earnestly anymore. "expertly trolled" i haven't heard but i hate anything that includes any variation of "troll"
