What does "TPTB" stand for? I am assuming it is people, but I'm not sure who. Thanks!

Kristal TPTB means The Powers That Be. And it usually refers to the producers and writers of the show. I frequent a website dedicated to a soap opera and they use the term TPTB there a lot also.

Could someone please tell me what IMO stands for? I just can't figure out that one. Thanks.

Based on the context in which I've seen it written, I've decided that it's In My Opinion and IMHO is In My Humble Opinion. Hope I'm right...think I am.
