You are X and I claim my five pounds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You are X and I claim my five pounds (commonly abbreviated to YA X AICMFP, YA X AICM£5 or AICM5UKP) is a British stock phrase commonly used in online discussion forums such as Usenet. The phrase is supposedly used to reveal a poster's secret identity, but in practice it is used ironically to make a humorous comparison between the poster and another person, either a third person who frequents the same forum or a celebrity.
The phrase occasionally mutates thematically to "...my five euros", "dollars", etc.
The phrase originated with competitions run by various newspapers, starting with the Westminster Gazette in 1927 - see Lobby Lud for discussion of the newspaper competitions.
