The real meaning...

ever heard of Carpe Diem? Latin phrase meaning "Sieze the Day" way better than that yolo shit.

the term YOLO got got like famous when he said it

when drake said it**

well fuck drake. fuck him.

agreed

"Carpe Diem" worked just fine until the faggots decided to make their own word...

I had a principle in secondary school that always told us Carpe Diem, seize the day and make it yours

I think it's fair to say Capre Diem was the first. Latin. Ancient Language.

sure but it's silly to say Carpe Diem is better just because it's older.

No. I personally find it better because I think Latin is beautiful. But ThAReApEr's point (I think) was that YOLO was just a (debatably lesser) version of the already standing Carpe Diem. He never said Carpe Diem was the only one. But it was one of the oldest and most used.

most used?

funny. i haven't even heard anyone say carpe diem except in English class, and on here when people try to look smarter (but they don't even use it other then to say its better than yolo)

Well, personally, I've never seen "jump and a net would appear" or "take no thought of the morrow". In my experience I hear it a lot. I'm a big English buff, I like Latin roots and the like. Carpe Diem was always one of my favorite pairings. And I've seen it around in poems and such. My circle of peers tended to say it. Not like people yell out YOLO. But I've heard it more than the phrases on your list. But that's just me.

Also, not to be a smartass, but I'm sure it was used plenty in the hundreds of years it's been around.

well you sound educated; and no you're not being a smartass you're right.

Well thanks, I try. I'm just a silly liberal arts kid. Writer, thespian. Words are pretty to me.

quit being a fag

No one was talking to you MrDrProfessor; if you have an option to share do it, don't just call people fags.

*Ahem* "REPOST!"

ahem ahem i dont' give a shit. ahem ahem

*ahem* "same joke in a different format does not make it OC!"

this nigger serious?

YES, I AM SIRIUS!

Not to feed the anon, but that's incredibly unfair to assume.

I learned the phrase from teachers o.o and for some reason Disney channel was on on the episode of phineas and ferb where they say it like a million times, but, I mostly heard it around the people I prefer to hang out with and teachers

I understand. Depends on the person

"Carpe Diem Baby" by Metallica taught me the meaning of the phrase.

well said sir. Agree 99.99%

Yeah, I've never seen that movie....

I had philosophy class when I was in a school and I learned it back then. But it is true what you say for certain people.

unless you find history and philosophy interesting in the least.....

Been a history nerd since I could read. That's how I found out.

have you considered that he wants to suck a dick?

oh college humor... how they never fail to disappoint xD

Mr.Squirrels.. he was a brave man.

So when was this 'once'?

It looks like subtle word-play. Once in other contexts is "Just one time", while the Once in this contexts seems to be denoting "In a previous time; In the past".

But I could just be fucking high.
