IMNSHO stands for In my not-so-humble opinion, a texting and chat abbreviation.

Jokey intensifier of IMHO, used when the writer holds a strong opinion and openly admits it. It signals confidence with a wink rather than real arrogance.

Example: IMNSHO, pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza, fight me.

Usage notes

A Usenet-era coinage, rare today and mostly seen among older forum users and programmers. Younger readers are unlikely to recognize it, so it works best in communities that already know the older hedges.
