[General] About usage of " You got me"

[Tramper]

Hello.

I would like to know in which situation I should use " You got me".

Would you give me some tips or examples for this?


Does "You got me" have similar meaning to "you understand me?"


What does "You got me" mean in this context?


A: Any of your classmates giving you a hard time? You sleeping okay?

B:That's not really what you want to talk about, is it?

A: You got me.


Thank you for taking the time !

Have a great weekend ^_^

Merriam-Webster's Learner's Dictionary
The phrases You have me there and There you have me or (more commonly and informally) You've/You got me (there) are used in speech to mean “I don't know.”

 

[JTRiff]

That's right, although in that example it simply means. Right, you understand me.

I disagree with both of the above, though the context would be useful.
If A is a counsellor, and B is a student, A is trying to talk to B about some problem he's having, let's say drugs. He makes a meaningless opening statement, and the student is "on to him" straight away and "calls him on it".
"You got me" here means, "You have detected my subterfuge"; "you've seen through my ploy"; "you've seen through me"; "you've caught me out."
I suppose, "You understand me" is also right, but not in the usual meaning.

I guess "not" is a typo for "now"? I'll assume so.

You got me!
< Is it okay if I say this in this situation as " You have detected my typo."



P.s: "Now" ^_^ I made a type.

Yes, you can say that. ;-) The connotation is a little different though.
