I keep seeing the word 'Yolo' around and I feel a bit silly for not knowing what it means. Can anyone tell me what it means and how it came about?

This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Short for "You only live once". It's also a town in California.
