Recently there has been an epidemic worse than any zombie outbreak. I'm talking, of course, about the terrible over-use of the term YOLO. Many have heard it used and, usually, out of context, like so-many pop songs on the radio.
It is getting old.
Some of you may be asking Why can't they just say "carpe diem" or "seize the day"? Or even "Oh Captain, my captain"? What the hell is their deal? I've asked a few people that say it why they say it. The answer I got was It feels like something you yell on top of a mountain.
Well, spluh!
According to history, the 1920s were rife with slang that died off--probably unable to spread due to all the mobster deaths--only to be reborn again in the year 2020, killing off YOLO. Unfortunately, with the rising popularity of pocket watches, vests, and fedoras in the early 2000s, suspenders gained popularity in the early 2020s, thus signaling the Suspenders Wars. People were treated differently based on what held their pants up: belt or suspender.Those were dark times.
Just remember: Hardly anyone says that something is fly or tight anymore and it has been a long time since I have heard anyone say that they are Livin' la vida loca.
People will stop saying YOLO soon enough and everything will be Jake.
