not me
Someone else, surely
Not me is a quick denial of responsibility or involvement: Who ate the last cookie? Not me.
In internet slang, it marks relatable content about embarrassing or private behavior—the phrase becomes ironic, meaning "this is exactly me": Not me staying up until 3 AM reading fanfiction.
The ironic use often opens confessional posts.
