It's a little hard to understand what you want, however, in English we often give two choices to someone:
would you like a: or would you like b:
Sometimes they can be opposite in meaning, such as do you a: like honey, b: not like honey.
Sometimes it can just be a personal choice,
such as: would you like to a: go to the park, or b:go to the shops?
I hope this helps.

"What are some expressions that sometimes mean one thing and sometimes mean the opposite?"
Well, with sarcasm, things can mean the opposite, eg: 'That's great!' can be 'Oh no.. that's terrible!'
