I've heard the term, "fuck you, got mine," a few times, pretty much exclusively used in a derogatory way. From what I understand, it is supposed to describe an individual who is of the opinion that as long as they have attained the item they strove to acquire, they don't care if someone else, who may really need the item as well, does not have it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
So, my question is, what is the opposite of "Fuck you, got mine?" Is it something like, "I didn't do shit, give me yours?" I'm trying to understand the meaning behind the derogatory connotation. Is it really just the disagreement between the "I worked my ass off for it, I deserve it" class, and the "We're all in this together and we should all share equally" class?
Actually I have seen this in a clothing line. It is called
DGK ("Dirty Ghetto Kids" - don't get me started on the name). One of their popular shirts I see says "What Recession?" on the front and "Gots Mine" on the back. Here is a link to

It represents is sort of live for today, self-centered and narcissistic attitude and is becoming more prevalent these days. I had an ex-friend I knew that wore this stuff and to be honest, it really summed up his outlook and that is just not what I am all about, so we fell out. I thought this fit with the theme of this post.
