YMMV -- Your Mileage May Vary.

A courteous disclaimer, much the same as IMHO.

Used to give another the benefit of a doubt.

Similar to patronizing a-holes by calling them "Sir."

Here's an example:

"I am generally very careful with an axe.

YMMV, sir. I notice you are missing toes on your left foot."

It was a thread that I started ... so I requested that it be deleted. It was redundant to have two going and we really only need one ... so on this thread we can start fresh.
