Your path/turn is obstructed by an oncoming car. How do you interpret (as a rider or driver) an oncoming car flashing you his lights?

The oncoming vehicle is yielding and allowing you to proceed first.

The oncoming vehicle is signaling that he is going to proceed and is expecting you to yield.

Flashing lights in my rearview mirror mean "mash it, the pigs are coming!"

Forgot about that one.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I saw in a horror movie once it meant "Your gonna die in a second cause some dude with an axe is in your back seat"

For me it means "hey cager (aka stupid a$$hole) here comes a motorcycle... don't you dare fuc%ing pull out and try and kill me!"
We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
But we're always the last
When the gravy's shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
