carpe diem

1 ) Latin phrase ('seize the day'), most commonly found as a tattoo on the arms or chests of men who, surprisingly, are least likely to take advantage of daylight hours. Rather, its proponents generally devote the majority of their time to disregarding the consequences of their night-time behaviour, and lifting up heavy objects in gymnasiums devoid of natural light.

Whether the choice of this phrase as a tattoo is an example of ironic self-awareness is unknown.

2) coll. Name given to one who has such a tattoo.

1) " Hey bro, got me this wicked new carpe diem tatt on my wrist!"

"Sweet as dude, does it represent your passion for climbing basalt monoliths in the desert?"

"Nah man, was off my face in Bali!"

2) "Whoa, Susan, check out that smokin' hot Carpe Diem over there!"

" Wowee, Beth! Bet he seizes days regularly!"

carpe fuck it

An expression derived from 'carpe diem' meaning 'sieze the fuck it'. Used when one is in a dilemma whether or not to apply 'fuck it' (in actualy conversation or thoughts) but eventually decides that it'll be used. The 'carpe' shows that the 'fuck it' has now been the 'siezed' outcome of the dilemma and hence differentiates the expression from a simple 'fuck it' which usually rolls of the tounge without the aforesaid dilemma or thought for native speakers of English. This expression originated on the Upper East Side of NYC.

Captain of the US Airways Flight 1549 to his co-pilot: These birds have destroyed the engines. Should we land in the Hudon river?
Co-Pilot: Hmmmmmmmmm
Captain: Hmmmmmmm...(Looks at how low their altitude is)... carpe fuck it!
Co-Pilot: (Over the announcement system) Please brace for impact.
Cabin Crew: 1 L N R cross check.
