a word that everybody thought drake the rapper made up but no. The phrase came from the song you only live once by suicide silence. Suicide Silence in a hardcore metal band. They were out of a singer for about a year after there lead screamer mitch lucker died in a terrible motorcycle crash. But they have recruited a new screamer named Eddie Hermida from the band All Shall Perish In The Morning. Yolo literally means you only live once. Which means you only live one life so live it to the fullest. But most dumbasses use this phrase like it is nothing like "I just broke my leg but yolo" NO!!!!! that is not the proper way to use it!!!! Basically drake stole this lyric from suicide silence because you only live once came out on may 24th 2011 and drakes song came out on December 7th 2011. All in all Suicide Silence came up with the phrase but Drake just made it popular to the stupid people around the world.
