Sayings That Should Go Away – Y.O.L.O
Up until a few months ago, I never knew the meaning behind the acronym Y.O.L.O. I remember seeing people tweet about referencing a Drake song. I saw people post their Y.O.L.O tattoos and also various other memes. Eventually I turned to Google to see what everyone was talking about.
Y.O.L.O.
You only live once.
Let’s look at few examples of Y.O.L.O.
So, peeing over a balcony is something you do because you only live once? Or is it something to do because you’re an asshole?
So is the point of Y.O.L.O to die while you’re only living once? Or is it that you have a death wish?
I blame Drake. He needs to be held accountable for the abuse of this acronym. If it wasn’t for his song, “The Motto”, we wouldn’t have to suffer through another over used and unnecessary saying. Y.O.L.O has officially become the “carpe diem” of stupid people. I’m sure the people of Yolo, California really hate the acronym.
This isn’t really a saying per se but I loathe “as far as,” especially when it’s used more than once in a sentence. I always don’t care for “doing the most,” “it is what it is,” “work flow,” “gym flow,” “school flow,” and tons of other of-the-moment phrases.
Girl you didn’t just per se ? Now you reaching waaay back!
I think YOLO is important. Way too many people put off doing things they SHOULD be doing because they’re too busy playing it safe and keeping up with the Jones’. Just because a couple of douchebags attach YOLO to some jackass tweet, doesn’t make it a less valid point. The fact is, people let their lives go by all. the. time. You only live once; make it count.
Amen to that! YOLO
This isnt a phrase either but im so tires of the overuse of hashtags!
