Considering that "carpe" is closer to "molest/rape" than "grab", this might work better as a JD Vance joke: "Carpe Divan" insofar as "enjoy, seize, use, make use of" implies.
The article you linked says it means “pick or pluck” as in “plucking a fruit”
It also says the quoted part at the end of my previous post, or did you have trouble getting that far, son? Sit down.
Fair enough, but nowhere is rape mentioned which is what I was getting at.
Read some Roman history. Get back to me when you find the common use of the term. Enjoy.
