N.B: this expression is supposed to be used mainly by WASPs when talking to other WASPs, but this is not mandatory; non-WASPs can, but again this is not mandatory, use other perfectly correct English translations of the same Latin phrase, such a 'grab life by the horns', among others.
(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial line' grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.

as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, but i doubt it they would have used the exact same words.

Get the BEJROVBOOTY GanBJrastas capital 3mug. That Angela Rayner, I've heard she's a big Maggie Thatcher fan, being particularly impressed with Maggie's 1980 Housing Act, which enabled council house tenants to buy (and sell) their council house. Hang on, I hear Rayner has not only broken electoral law by saying she is registered as living at said council house, but is in fact living down the road with husband and kids. She has also failed to pay capital gains tax on the profit made when she sold the council house.
On well, good on her! Hold on a minute, what's her role in the current Labour government - Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government - NO !!!!! You've got to be pulling my plonker!
