Comes from the Robert Frost poem, "Nothing gold can stay." Often can refer to staying true to yourself and your own character.
More literal meanings can be to stay where you are, in whatever figurative meaning (ie: relationship, city, state, country) you can conjure up.

Employs a variety of meanings, all of which gravitate around themes of maintaining self, integrity, and youth. Used extensively in the straight edge doctrine of pure living to mean "stay free of drugs, alcohol, and other vices."
Derived from the last line of Robert Frost's acclaimed poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay".
"Stay--stay gold. Stay--true to yourself, to your friends, and never let go."

Can be said either way: Bro stay gold or stay gold bro. Bro term for: "Hey man, stay cool." (I.e. Stay safe, don't fuck fat chicks, don't be a fucktard, etc.)
Bro 1: Hey man I'm gonna bail. I got an open invite to bang that chick from last night.
Bro 2: Alright! Bro stay gold!
Frat boy 1: Hey man, I gotta bail, got class in the morning.
Frat boy 2: BRO!!! Stay Gold!
Frat boy 1: Yea man you're totally right! What bar next?
