I'm certain this question will tag me as an irredeemable noob, but what does OTOH stand for?

I try to see both sides of this obscure acronym, but I just can't get a grasp on it.

3. No no no ... it means "On the one hand"!
If you use it a SECOND time, then it means "on the other". :P

4. For those who are fond of splitting hairs it can mean "On the other hair"
... or for those who are about to eat a large meal, "On the other ham"

... or for those who have more than one, "On the other head"

... or for those who are ready to take their pet for a walk, "On the other harness"

... or I could go on for a very long time, especially if I crack a dictionary open to the 'H' section. But The joke only goes so far.
