IMR

One night I was talking to Babar on g-chat and used the phrase "I mean really" at the end of a sentence. He liked it, saying that it's uses seemed almost boundless in terms of adding emphasis to a statement. Here's the conversation, which mind you was held after midnight pacific:

12:19 AM BBB: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_Coke

So we started using it on two plus two in acronym form. At first people kind of ignored it. I'd just put IMR at the end of a sentence and they were probably reading it just as an exclamation point, which is basically accurate. Then a few people started to ask, and somebody said that he couldn't find it on Urban Dictionary. Well that we had to fix. So ladies and gentleman, I give you my first Urban Dictionary submission, the definition of IMR. Yes I know there is a typo, but I actually think that kind of adds something to it.

IMR

I mean really

This phrase is used in online forums and blogs to add emphasize and sarcasm to a statement simultaneously:

Questioner: "Why did you raise the turn?"
Answerer: "I had 3 pair. IMR, 3 pair!"
