I agree[edit]

Is the definition "I agree" necessary, or even correct? At best I think it's redundant to "that applies to me as well". Siuenti (talk) 14:39, 7 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

It's basically correct, but I agree that it is redundant. Some things are missing from the page:
  1. A noun ({often used attributively) "imitator") as in:
    • 2014, Allan Afuah, Business Model Innovation: Concepts, Analysis, and Cases, page 169
      In the European Union, the firm does well as an explorer and an exploiter, somewhat well as a me-too but not so well as a superstar.
    • 2014, Heather Cox Richardson, To Make Men Free: A History of the Republican Party, page 226
      Truman's reelection in 1948 had convinced Taft men that the problem with the Republican Party was that it continued to be a “me too” party.
  2. A usage note or label for the verb and noun saying that the term is often pejorative, especially the verb, suggesting thoughtless agreement. DCDuring TALK 16:53, 7 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

RFV discussion: August–November 2016[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


I don't think the definition "I agree" is correct when the definition "That applies to me as well" isn't. For example "Wiktionary is a terrible, terrible website". "Me too" is not normal English IMO, it would have to be "I think Wiktionary is a terrible, terrible website" and then the second definition applies. Siuenti (talk) 17:58, 12 August 2016 (UTC)Reply


you too[edit]

A: pleasure to meet you! B: you too! What's the meaning of you too here? --Backinstadiums (talk) 00:08, 7 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

When followed by a period or exclamation point, you, too is used as an answer to someone's general good wishes. This sort of exchange generally happens at the end of an interaction or a conversation:

"It was good to catch up with you. Have a good day!"

"You, too."

"Take care!"

"You, too!"

"See you tomorrow!"

"You, too!" [=See you tomorrow, too!]
