A New Acronym To Make People Stop Using “YOLO”

Let’s face it, many of us are annoyed by the term “YOLO” (you only live once). Some people like it apparently, and I guess they should really be free to use the term if they want, but many of us would rather they didn’t. Perhaps we’d prefer they use “Carpe Diem” instead. Regardless, we’d like “YOLO” to stop.

As such, I have a proposal.

Whenever eating bacon, be sure to type or say “POLO.” This will be an acronym for “pigs only live once,” evidencing our regret that the same pig cannot become bacon over and over again for us. Perhaps we might even extend this to the consumption of any tasty pork comestible. I’m not sure how far we’ll want to take this yet.

Regardless, the hope is that common use of “POLO” will make people stop wanting to use the term “YOLO.” With any luck, they won’t be able to think of “YOLO” without also thinking of “POLO.” As such, perhaps “YOLO” won’t be seem so inanely glamorous to them anymore and the term will die out.

Those of us who are annoyed by use of “YOLO” can only hope.
