    I recently heard my mid-70s mother use “YOLO.” I was shook.

      YOLO as an excuse to do stupid shit is such a weird thing to me. You also only die once.

        Those are both the same reason; if you don’t do some shit before dying, you won’t have another chance.

        Even more: the saying should be YOLNO (You Only Live Now Once). Miss your opportunity window of doing something, and it’s gone, whether you keep living or not.
