IMAO

What does IMAO stand for?

In my arrogant opinion

IMAO is an acronym that stands for “in my arrogant opinion”. It’s a phrase people often use when they’re expressing their point of view, especially in a more assertive or confident way. You’ll mostly see IMAO being used in text messages or on social networking platforms where people are eager to put forward their views.

This term is a lot like IMHO, which stands for “in my honest opinion”, but the difference is that IMAO refers to an opinion that’s put forth with a bit more arrogance. This arrogance though, is usually meant in a tongue-in-cheek or humorous way, not to actually be offensive or rude.

Example for using ‘IMAO’ in a conversation

Hey, did you watch the latest episode of that show?

IMAO, it was so predictable! I knew exactly what was going to happen.

Haha, really? I thought it was pretty surprising.

Nah, I could see it coming from a mile away. I’m always right, you know.
