An assertive phrase to introduce one's opinion by someone who is supremely confident it is the only valid viewpoint that makes logical sense. It is often abbreviated to IMFFHO. It should not be used by the faint hearted or those that cannot back it up with facts.

In my far from humble opinion, Valentino Rossi will never win another world championship

the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

refers to a father/mother and son/daughter not being different from one another or being identical in their actions, behaviors, etc.

Dad gets caught stealing in his teen years and then his son gets caught stealing as a teen.

The mother might look at the father and say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

The cookie doesn't crumble far from the tree.

A saying by non-native English speakers who have literally no idea how our metaphors or idioms work. Bullshit nonsense that's probably the butt of a joke or something.

Person 1: Hey Sven, why weren't you at work yesterday?
Sven: That's the way the apple falls when the cookie doesn't crumble far from the tree.
Person 1: ...
