In My Opinion, the H adds Humble and sometimes the O is an E for Experience.

I confess I just looked that one up.

To the OP: I've also seen IME and IMPE for 'in my experience' and, presumably 'in my personal experience', although I usually read IMPE as 'in my pathetic experience' because it makes me smile.

Damn, it's been ages since I heard that. I like KBW.

When the recent election was on we had some friends over one day. One is quite senior in the Labour Party. She put a bunch of Kevin07 sticker on the table and a mate picked one up and asked deadpan; "Is Kevin Bloody Wilson running for PM?"

You're going to have to translate that one for the Americans, I think. Although I did figure out DILLIGAF.
