two cents
Uninvited personal opinion
Two cents is an opinion offered without being asked for, often preceded by "my" and followed by "worth": Here's my two cents on the matter.
The phrase suggests humility—valuing one's contribution at almost nothing—while still asserting it.
To put in your two cents is to contribute an opinion to a discussion, sometimes unwelcome.
