[myusernameisusername]

Apart from it meaning poop in dutch nothing else has appeared online about this presumably made up word wjy do people make up words. and why does it make me see whenever i see it

[GlitterTwinkleToes]

Yanbu!
DH says this to wind me up cunt
People sound like pissed sheep saying it

[Allinson2014]

YANBU at all!

[MagentaVitus]

Teenagers/pop culture has always made up words. Don't like it, don't use it!

[MitzyLeFrouf]

I've seen it being used but I have no idea what it means.

[juneybean]

Yanbu! It's the same amount of syllables as babe. I don't get it?!

[Anniegetyourgun]

It's "babe" for people who are too lazy to type a whole four letters. There's another thread somewhere that claims it stands for something, but I bet the acronym was invented after the word was already in use just so it didn't sound quite so pathetic. In this it failed.

[myusernameisusername]

Wow. a word worse than babe that actually sounds and means something much worse this generation of teens has outdone themselves

[hobNong]

Yanbu op.

[Bambambini]

YABU and sound old! Like me! Don't know what it means but it obviously sounds cool to diss it on Mn!

[browniebear]

I think it stands for Before Anyone Else

[CarlPoppaJaJiggyJarJardoo]

Yes it doesn't mean babe,it stands for before anyone else.I agree it is annoying though.

[SycamoreMum]

Its a American word that somehow (fucking annoyingly) drifted over here. It means like boyfriend/girlfriend. Its used a lot in hiphop culture/followings.

Stupid word.

[nochurniscream]

It doesn't mean babe or boyf/girlf

As explained above it means Before Anyone Else

It's not a word I would use but language changes and evolves all the time and I think that's great

I do wonder though if anyone hated the word bandit when Shakespeare invented it... Or bedazzled. Or watchdog. Or any of the others...

[Rainbunny]

I've been in the States for 15 years and never heard this before! Obviously not hanging around the cool people. I thought you were talking about a British Aerospace company (BAE Systems).

[nochurniscream]

ps all words are 'made up'

[WalterMittyish]

I've genuinely not come across this in general usage (though I don't have much contact with teenagers).

In what context would you use 'Before Anyone Else' in a sentence? Is this to do with queuing, i.e. 'Hey, queue-jumper, I was BAE, and it's just not British to push in!'

[imwithspud]

YANBU, it's an annoying word. Up there with the likes of 'totes' 'amazeballs' and 'emosh', bleurgh. Grown adults saying it make me cringe.

[Bibasbottom]

It means Before Anyone Else and I think originated with a 'viner ' called Cameron Dallas who uses the catch phrase; You got a bae or nah.

Teenagers daughters? Yep!

[VixxFace]

It's before anyone else. Nothing to do with babe. I find the word embarrassing.

[VixxFace]

But that's because I'm old and past it (29)

[TranquilityofSolitude]

YANBU

My teenage DDs use it all the time, mostly to annoy me, I suspect. It tends to go hand-in-hand with"ILY" which means "I love you" but they pronounce as "illy". Typical conversation goes like this:
Me: "I've been to the supermarket. I bought crisps."
DD: "ILY BAE."

Tempted not to buy crisps ever again...

[GaryBaldy]

YANBU. It's everywhere. That and thug life and squad goals.

What does this stuff even mean?

DS won't tell me as he thinks I'm too old to be on Facebook
