Wikipedia: Carpe diem
Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated “seize the day”, taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace’s work Odes (23 BC).
Translation
Carpe is the second-person singular present active imperative of carpō “pick or pluck” used by Horace to mean “enjoy, seize, use, make use of”. Diem is the accusative of dies “day”. A more literal translation of carpe diem would thus be “pluck the day [as it is ripe]”—that is, enjoy the moment. It has been argued by various authors that this interpretation is closer to Horace’s original meaning.

QUESO DIEM.
CHEESE THE DAY.
You had me at “Queso Diem.” (Note that you can see the sign changes that came with the changing climate of social media. The sign used to have nothing around it, then it had #rosepepper and then, as Instagram took over the world, the sign changed to @TheRosepepper)
