It means "in my humble opinion."

Rats, I thought you were going to come out with an objectionable opinion there!

It can be objectionable if it actually means, "In My Honest Opinion". A lot of people find my opinions "objectionable", but then again, I'm living in UT without being a complete right-winger, so...................

Here's the link to The Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/ to help you out. I use it quite often.

ah, I'd heard "humble" years ago. According to the link above, it can be both.

I wasn't correcting. It goes both ways, except in my case. There's nothing "humble" about me, and certainly not my opinions.

My DH was told at work that the new workplace policy was not to use the term "harass" because it sounded too much like "her A$$" to some people, who lodged a formal complaint against the company...

Thanks! :-)

And, as teenagers are not so 'humble' or even sometimes 'honest' I can see why it would be an "old person's thing!"
