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!

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

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