Everybody use the word IMO as everybody understood. But now I begin to feel, as I must know what it is if I should listen to my headphones any more

. Please explain the word to me.

"IMO" means, in shorthand, "in my opinion."
People also use "IMHO" -- "in my humble opinion."
Furthermore, "IME" mean "in my experience."

You also have several variations on that theme:

IMHO - in my humble opinion

IME - in my experience

LOL!!

Not too worried about my post count but I am guilty of not reading your response properly before replying..

Sorry about that..

OK, better come up with some more you didn't have though not really related to the first:

IMEO - In my expert opinion LOL! Just made that one up..

AFAIK - As far as I know

FWIW - for what it's worth

DCIYDBMTMSAISTI - don't care if you don't believe me, that's my story and I'm sticking to it

While you have already been informed what "IMO" stands for, it MEANS "don't give me a hard time because you disagree, I'm just telling you what I think."

....or "don't flame me, please"...

 

[ProParadox]

IMHO I thought meant "in my honest opinion"

Thank you.
Really good explanations.
I wonder where the expressions come from. If I look in a dictionary there is nothing mentioned about them. Have they come by chatting culture on Internet perhaps?

Yep... the Internet and its predecessors (computer BBS's, terminals, etc).

P.S. FWIW (For What It's Worth), this thread should be in Member's Lounge...

Ýes.
I suppose you are using an old-fashioned paper based dictionary, my digital dictionary(Babylon Pro) contains such terms.

Yes. But I thought it had something with headphones to do.
