    What is YOLO?

    I've seen it on Social Network sites recently - maybe slang or an abbreviation of something? I'd love to know what it means.

    This is not really an answer - I don't know either. Wondering also?

    YOLO is the acronym for You Only Live Once

    It stands for You Only Live Once.  It's kind of the modern day version of Carpe Diem.

    YOLO is what many celebrities say meaning "You Only Live Once." It is an expression often used when doing something that is lavish or expensive. Celebrities will post a picture of it (on Twitter or Twitpic) and put YOLO in the comments. Their rationale is: "If you only live once, why not live it up and party hard." It is an expression to justify self-indulgence and self-gratification.

    YOLO: You Only Live Once.
    Also the dumb people's catch phrase, used as an excuse for doing stupid things.
