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.

A word used commonly by girls, ranging in the age groups of 13-16 and Drake. It's origins came from a Jew named Drake. In his song "The Motto" he says "You only like once that's the motto n!gga YOLO" It's the 2012 version of swagbecause according to hippy posers, it's too mainstream. Yolo means "You only live once" but is usually used for girls doing the duck face or doing weird shit.

YOLO= You Only Live Once. YOLO is a common saying commonly overused and/or used in the incorrect context. Generally people use it as a way to justify their stupid actions. In actuality YOLO was created as a way to look at life, and to ensure you enjoy every last second. This means to stop worrying about the past, because you simply don't have time. Always look to the future, and make the most of every second you have!
Incorrect use!
Person A: Yo man I just took a dump on a park bench!
Person B: YOLO
Correct Use:
Person A: Hey I'm still getting over Person C, I cant stop thinking about them!
Person B: Dude YOLO, don't worry about it! Lets head to the gym, and we can talk about our summer trip while we are there!
Person A: I guess you are correct, I only live once lets go make the most of it!
