someone else
Not you either
Someone else refers to a different person, any person other than the one being discussed or the speaker: I thought you were someone else, Let someone else handle it.
The phrase often implies substitution or alternative: She's seeing someone else now.
It can suggest anonymity or vagueness about identity: Someone else must have left this here.
