An acronym for 'you only live once'
This motto is similar to the mottoes 'you've only got once chance to live' or 'enjoy it while you can'. People often use these phrases to persuade their friends to take risks or do something they normally wouldn't do
The phrase has been a motto for people for a long time, but the shortened version, YOLO, has gained popularity since the release of the song "The Motto" by Drake and Tyga.
They reference the term in their rap, saying,
"you only live once, that's the motto, ni**a YOLO."
In many cases, though, the term has been blown out of proportion and teenagers over use it by hash-tagging it in pictures and wall posts on Facebook because it's become trendy.

The fourth type of rhetorical persuasion, aside from logos, pathos, and ethos. Posited by Aristotle in Ancient Greece and revived by college students in the 21st century.
An argument in this style generally takes the form of yelling "YOLO" at your buds until they give into doing whatever unwise decision you're recommending.
