Blame it on me or blame it on you

Hi all,

what does "Blame it on me or blame it on you"mean? Does that mean "I am guilty of this or you are guilty of this".

Could transform it/ you explain it more simply?
Thank you in advance.

'You can say it is my fault or you can say it is your fault'. You are sort-of correct with the interpretation you give. Blame does not necessarily mean that someone is guilty, though.

Generally speaking, here's the idea.

If I blame you, it does not definitely mean you are guilty. It means I say you are guilty.

Now let's consider your sentence. "Blame it on me or blame it on you" means "Say I am guilty of it or say you are guilty of it".
