LOL. No it won't dude. Just read some of the more convoluted theories on here, I guarantee confusion.

 

[Boaz]

Agreed. My last post was by far my most succinct and lucid on these forums.

What are TBH and IMO?
General forum ignorance.

 

[Joel007]

TBH = To be honest. Usuaully used before a scathing truth or a blatant lie

IMO = In my opinion. Pretty self explanatory.
IMHO means in my humble opinion. All lies!

 

[Werthead]

However, if used in conjunction with the name of Steven Erikson, TBH usually means The Bonehunters, the sixth book in his Malazan series

 

[Joel007]

oh, well IMO might mean Intermediate Mathematical Olympiad, Intermational Maritime Organization, International Meterological Organization, Irongate Mail Order, or Interdenominational Mudslinging Opposition.

But I'm going to go with In My Opinion

 

[hedgeknight]

Then there are the "fun" acronyms:

• LMAO - Laughing My @$$ Off

• WTF? - What the f**k?

At least these are the ones I use frequently.
