What does Yolo really mean?

Like why people say it?
When I first heard YOLO I thought it stands for You Obviously Love Oreos.
Then people saying it really stands for You Only Live Once.
People are saying YOLO like LoL (Laugh out Loud) -_-
What so special about YOLO?
I am dead serious about this lol

@Cbass50: No need to resort to rude name calling. If you can't communicate without harshly insulting the person, then don't communicate at all.
99% of people who do use use it for stupid reasons.

I didn't say he came up with it, I said that the current trend is based around his song. There's no denying that.

It's basically the hipster way of saying Carpe Diem.[/quote]

What the hell? It isn't annoying white people saying that. It's minorities that mostly use it. l2 demographics bro.

OT:

It's based on a popular Drake song called "The Motto." It's basically the way that dumb teenagers justify their actions, such as having a house party behind their parents backs. This makes the unpopular kids really butthurt about the term since "they rlly r much more mature than their peers" but in reality it's a harmless, fun way to express it. Yeah, nobody over the age of 16 should ever use it with a plain face but regardless, it's just a way to shoot the crap while you do dumb things.

@Cbass50: i'm not being mad because they're "too mainstream".

I don't hate a lot of things, but saying YOLO for no reason is stupid. The example you gave is fine, but if you have been on twitter, you will see people using in the most dumbest situations.

I'm not calling Drake or Lil' Wayne stupid. Please read what I said. I'm calling those who use YOLO for no reason stupid.

What you need to do is read what i am saying, and no make up your own bs/putting words into ma mouth. kay?

I had used "The Motto" by Tyga (I think) for a research paper and I think someone told me that's where it came from. It wasn't a bad song, although I heard YODO more often than YOLO.

Your interpretation of YOLO is pretty epic though.

but don't YOU lack originality as well because so many other people have said that YOLO stood for that as well?

Do you not know what Google is? If I wanted to know what a simple acronym meant, the first thing that would cross my mind certainly wouldn't be making a topic on a MS fansite known for terrible trolls.
