IMAO Meaning

What Does IMAO Mean?

IMAO stands for “In My Arrogant Opinion”. It is used when you mean the opposite using irony.

The original term was “in my humble opinion”, often abbreviated IMHO. I remember it appearing on the early Internet, especially in Usenet discussion groups. It often got used in flames war to try to reduce the impact of dogmatic opinions. However it became obvious that the people using it were not being at all humble, and hence “in my arrogant opinion” (IMAO) started to be used in the reaction. Its usage is partly a self-deprecating joke, and partly to acknowledge that the opinion is indeed arrogant.
