Talk:Adam Mesh

Origin of YOLO
This Forbes piece  says that this Rolling Stone article  says Mesh "was the first to utter YOLO on the public record". However the Rolling Stone article doesn't say that. It says only "the phrase popped up on the NBC reality show The Average Joe in 2004". This Vanity Fair piece has a more complete and reliable history of the phrase including research by Katherine Martin, Head of U.S. Dictionaries at Oxford University Press, a professional etymologist. Katherine Martin found the phrase did not originate with Mesh nor was he the first to use it in a public manner. He popularized it. -- Green  C  03:25, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
