    To heck with "Carpe Diem". I prefer "Carpe Jugulum".

      YOLO and Carpe Diem have different meanings but you would need to have the vocabulary of at least an 8 year old to notice : )

      I think this is an internet meme I'll just ignore.

        "YOLO" is what you say when you mean carpe diem, but your vocabulary is limited to that of a six year old. I've noticed people have started putting it in their names on other sites. As far as I know, no one has done so here yet, so: FIRST!11!!11one! This may be a good time to put "YOLO" in the list of censored words. expecting univotes any minute now :)

        I've started noticing this on sites like Failbook, but it seems to be an American thing. I have no idea what it stands for.

                YOLO (You only live once) is frequently used to justify doing something dangerous. a: "You going to go skydiving?" b: "YOLO" But it really shouldn't be used in that context as it's quite ambiguous. For example if some one asked me if I were going to go skydiving I might say "YOLO" (I wouldn't, but for arguments sake let's pretend I would) as a way of saying hell no. You see, since I will only live once, I don't want that one time to be cut short, so maybe I should exercise a little bit of caution.

                      Thanks for this post, Jeremy. Now I don't have to lie when I tell my boss I need to take the rest of the day off becuase of a migraine.

                        You are trying to apply logic and reason to pop-culture cliches. I agree with you, but it won't hold. :)

                        There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                            "stupid" in the context of people who wear their trousers round their knees rather than their waist is a relative term... :-D
