An expression derived from 'carpe diem' meaning 'sieze the fuck it'. Used when one is in a dilemma whether or not to apply 'fuck it' (in actualy conversation or thoughts) but eventually decides that it'll be used. The 'carpe' shows that the 'fuck it' has now been the 'siezed' outcome of the dilemma and hence differentiates the expression from a simple 'fuck it' which usually rolls of the tounge without the aforesaid dilemma or thought for native speakers of English. This expression originated on the Upper East Side of NYC.

Co-Pilot: (Over the announcement system) Please brace for impact.
Cabin Crew: 1 L N R cross check.
