YOLO



YOLO

slang An abbreviation for "you only live once," a phrase that prioritizes action, and often impulsivity, over contemplation in the pursuit of life experiences. Popularized by Drake's 2011 song "The Motto." A: "Come to the music festival with us, Colleen!" B: "Yeah Colleen, YOLO!" That carnival ride looks totally terrifying, but YOLO—let's do it!
