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.

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!
