YOLO Added To Oxford English Dictionary

The English language is officially dead. The word YOLO, which stands for you only live once, has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. This particular dictionary is considered to be the defining tome of proper English. The term was popularized by Canadian rapper and teen soap opera star Drake in one of his crappy songs. Other words that have been added include Binge-Watching, Clickbait, Adorbs, and Tech-Savvy. All of these are dumb, of course. All of them are a stake in the heart of the language of Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Tom Clancy. But for some reason YOLO is the one that really gets under my skin. It's such a moronic word, an acronym really. I also don't like the connotation in it, the philosophy behind it. While I agree that we only live once, (unless you're Hindu), I don't think that gives you carte blanche to do whatever you want. Our existential reality isn't a ticket to hedonism.

But maybe that's what we've come to. If our language is subject to the whims of crappy Canadian pop stars then maybe we should all just drink ourselves stupid on syxerp or 'nac or whatever to drown out the empty hole in our souls.
