YOLO.
The accursed phrase.
Does anybody hate it as much as I?

People only really say it in mock of people of people who do actually say it. It's for sure more annoying than #ollie, or even #hawamo. :'3

"So I've lost all motor control in my right hand, I'll never be able to walk again, and I'll never be able to have kids, but it was totally worth it cause, you know, YOLO!"

I dunno, I've heard people to use it to mean the opposite as well. Namely, You only live once so don't screw it up!

That's the point. People use it in the wrong way. D:<

I thought this was a translation challenge, so here goes:

:deu: MLNE (Man lebt nur einmals)

:jap: (Ichikai kurashimasu (?))

Guys, guys! Yolo is a county in California, known for the city of Davis (Berzerkeley of the North). The internet just co-opted it and created a backronym for "you only live once". But we all know that "You Only Live Twice". But maybe that's just James Bond because he's so awesome. Now the question is how many times does Chuck Norris live?

Chuck Norris lives only one - but infinite - time. He can't die.

Yeah, YOLO is stupid.
I prefer YOLT, as in "Grabbed a gun made of gold and shot a midget. #YOLT"

(and yes, that is possible if you use the golden gun weapon set in that mode. :P)
