Where did YOLO come from?
One day I just starting seeing this YOLO business.
I had no clue what it meant.
I didn't even think to reference my handy dandy internet slang dictionary.
Finally, I saw it used on TV.
I had to ask my daughter.
You Only Live Once.
Well, duh!
We are not cats.
No do-overs!
Unless you are in "Cityslickers".
Than life is a do-over.
But, you just can't wait til you're dead.
But, since you only live once, you might as well go for it.
Either, I live under a rock or these geek speak phrases just take off really fast.
My daughter says that it's text speak, not geek speak.
Whatever.
I call it how I see it.
I figure I could call it worse things.

Happy Y day!
You only live once is so true. It is a good selection for the letter "Y". Smart!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Munir.
DeleteI wonder if Buddhists say YOLO?
ReplyDeleteThat's a question for Jenny at Pearson Report, I think. She's a buddhist so she's know. :)
DeleteYou don't know how happy I am that you wrote this post and that I read it because for the life of me I had no clue what YOLO meant, I don't know where they come up with this stuff...
ReplyDeleteGlad to impart knowledge, Alex. It would be nice if people would speak normally sometimes or all the time.
ReplyDeleteI feel so left out of the loop. I've been reading about YOLO on a lot of blogs and I'm wondering when this became such a popular saying. Oh dear, my kids are only toddlers and already I'm the uncool mom who knows nothing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing a-z.
Jessica, I don't know. One day I just started seeing it everywhere. No such thing as an uncool mom!
