carpo : to pluck, seize, grab, lay hold of, hold on to. omnino : altogether, entirely, wholly, certainly, completely.

So it is something like: to restrain completely, depending on the context. It was probably meant to be Carpe Omnem - Roughly, 'Grab everything!'

The phrase 'carpe omnis' is from the Latin language. Its English meaning is the following: Take [or seize] everything[or everybody]. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'carpe' means '[You] take'; and 'omnis' means 'all things'. In this case, the second person is in the singular command form. If more than one is being addressed, the command form is the following: 'Carpite', which means '[You all] take [or seize]'.

"Seize everything." Not really. Carpe is 'seize', but whatever is seized has to be in accusative case. 'Omnium' is genitive case, so tha tdoesn't make sense. Carpe omnia = Seize everything.
