Carpe Diem

Latin phrase literally meaning "Seize the Day." Has been overcome by idiots saying things such as swag, or yolo. Use this phrase to appear smarter than the common public.

Brandon: Hey, are you going to get the Playstation 4?

Colin: It's a possibility, but probably not...

Brandon: Hey, carpe diem, it could be too late when you want to get it later!

Colin: You're right, maybe I will get it!
