    I often use “YOLO” as a thot-sperminating cliche.

    I don’t think yolo has ever been used to end a discussion. It’s used to start the fun 😂

      Yeah I can get behind the others being thought enders but ‘you only live once’ it’s a phrase I use unironically pretty frequently. Life is short and you should do whatever it is you want to do while you’re here as long as it doesn’t harm others.

    I once heard them as “everlasting thought stoppers” and now I can’t call them anything else.

    Considering what group this is, I’m surprised I’ve not seen anyone mention “not essential to your salvation”.

    I’ve always considered phrases like that, just giving up and not wanting to pursue talking about something because IDGAF.

    But intelligent people have a definition for it. thought-terminating cliche. I just wanted to write that out so I remember it.
