1 ) Latin phrase ('seize the day'), most commonly found as a tattoo on the arms or chests of men who, surprisingly, are least likely to take advantage of daylight hours. Rather, its proponents generally devote the majority of their time to disregarding the consequences of their night-time behaviour, and lifting up heavy objects in gymnasiums devoid of natural light.
Whether the choice of this phrase as a tattoo is an example of ironic self-awareness is unknown.
2) coll. Name given to one who has such a tattoo.
1) " Hey bro, got me this wicked new carpe diem tatt on my wrist!"
"Sweet as dude, does it represent your passion for climbing basalt monoliths in the desert?"
"Nah man, was off my face in Bali!"
2) "Whoa, Susan, check out that smokin' hot Carpe Diem over there!"
" Wowee, Beth! Bet he seizes days regularly!"

A shortened version of the original Latin phrase "Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero" meaning "seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future."
Commonly used to justify spontaneous behavior and to make the most out of today, because one doesn't know if they'll live to see tomorrow.
However, the actual phrase is not saying to ignore the future, but rather to do as much as one can now because they won't know if everything will fall into place in the long run.
Benefit yourself now, so it can pay off in the future.
The complete fucking opposite of YOLO.
I should probably study for this calculus exam to help me become a civil engineer, unless I want to end up smoking crack in the back of the McDonalds parking lot. Carpe diem!

A word originating from the Latin language, meaning "seize the day". This phrase has began to be used to as a motivation for people to just seize the day,to stop messing around, and to live life on the edge.
After that talk with coach Consbruck, made me realize that we have to just carpe diem and go all out with whatever I do
