Short for "you only live once," YOLO is the Internet's answer to carpe diem. Popularized by Drake's song, "The Motto," the word was considered for the Collins Dictionary a couple of months ago.
When you live by YOLO, every day is bacon cupcake day. YOLO means doing keg stands on cheap beer and camping out on a hotel sidewalk on a chilly night in hopes of accosting a rock star.
But nowadays, YOLO can also mean skydiving from 10,000 feet or booking a last-minute plane ticket to backpack through Southeast Asia. Either way, we'd like to see your YOLO photos -- what does the term mean to you? Be as funny, irreverent or serious as you want. Take snapshots from a phone or a DSLR -- but be sure to let us know in the caption what makes your photo YOLO-worthy.
