What else is the opposite of "Me" if "You" isn't?

I'd say that was the opposite of "we".
"Either we did it, or they did"
"Either I win the prize, or you do."
But I agree that English doesn't have precise opposites, so if it doesn't feel right for you, then it just doesn't :->

It isn't a matter of English not having precise opposites, just of personal pronouns not having them. I'm reminded of the Just William crossword in which "CAT" is clued as "Opposite of dog".

Didn't click until I realised the second word was "going", rather than "leaving". Plus, I'm not convinced the opposing of "me" is "you".

That's great! Is this meme dead now? As in, that's the very last of it? Have we finally done this thing to death?

I got Rickrolled by Roy's wedding card to me having the URL of the youtube video on an NFC sensor. And I've seen a QR code one too.
So, no. So long as there are new methods of communication, people will try and use it to rickroll you.
At least it's not Goatse.

Well done. I knew what it was before I even got to figuring out the opposites.
