I guess I've finally reached that point in my life where I'm the one raising my eyebrows at the new 'trends' youth spreads these days. I keep seeing it pop up everywhere, at first I thought it was used for the ironic ridiculousness of it. You know repeating it for it's own ridiculous sake- but low and behold and more often than not, it's used with serious intent.

I love to hate it.

I sent my friend a text message asking what he was doing and he replyed 'Making a sandwich. YOLO!'. People use it for no reason. It's okay when it's not used to make you look 'cool'. People these days!

I hate it when people use that excuse to go out and have sex with as many random strangers as they can. It's like "Hey, Let's go catch an S.T.D because you know.. YOLO"

YOLO doesn't mean go be a Slut/Man whore.

It's "carpe diem" for people who've never heard of.it. "You only live once". It's usually followed (or proceeded) by something incredibly stupid.

Thank you. I really hadn't heard it used before. Although it's true you only live once, do we not have the time to say the words?

I guess in today's fast-pace life we no longer have the time (*sarcasm*). What gets me are the stupidity that gets blamed on it. I've not heard people shout "carpe diem" before jumping off a bridge etc.

I think that the meaning of the saying is put into a bad context, people use YOLO to excuse stupidity, not because they are doing anything of value
