AIBU to hate the word Bae ?

[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

Ach it's just the inevitable trends of language. You had your teen expressions and so too do our kids.

Bae is basically BFF and babe combined so about a bf/gf or best friend.

It's hard keeping up with teen language. Does anyone here actually watch vines and know terms like on fleek when it first becomes cool?

I've never heard it

It's 'before anyone else' as in I'd choose you over anyone else. So your best friend (bf) might be your bae for eg. (Who you would also lysm. As in Ilysm).

Ice cream could be your bae if it was your favourite flavour but an inanimate object is more likely to be your 'life'. As in 'cookie dough ice cream is literally my life.'

(Old. Owns teenagers).

There's a lot of 'smh' (shake my head) and fml going on in this house atm

Are en pointe and en flique as French as I say them in my head?

I thought it was a massacre of the 'old' word beau - I was obviously overthinking it! YANBU I can't stand it

The best way to take the steam out of stupid words like this is to use them - and the older you are the better! I guarantee that a month of over 40's calling everyone 'Bae' will kill it stone dead. And then the teenagers will invent another annoying word - it was ever thus!

I have never heard of bae until this thread. I also don't understand some of the abbreviations used on this forum.

I've see this word over the last few days and didn't take any notice because I thought it was something to do with BAE Systems, the aerospace manufactures!

What's on fleek and squad goals?

I watch vines
I've been told my eyebrows are on fleek.

My teens use the word in an ironic way - it's not meant to be taken seriously, is it?

Teens using the word is one thing but I know grown adults who use it (and not in an ironic way either) and quite honestly it's pathetic.

Teens and now I use it all the time within the house, never out. We use it as a synonym for great/good. So that dinner was bae. That film was baest. You are bae. etc. I think we use it ironically.

Kids have always made up stupid words and phrases and cultivated their own language. Also really odd fashion trends which a million kids wear as uniform in order to demonstrate that they are individuals.

I think it's part of growing up.

I am chinny reckon, coconut shampoo and 100 bangles up your arm generation.

How ridiculous a phrase is that though. Chinny reckon. Anyone who grew up saying that should remain silent on the issue of what was it? bae?

lol at this being new...

get with it guys

eyebrows here are on point

zinger another fave

What the hell's a vine?

Other than a grape growing thing.

14/14 on that quiz!

I quite like watching language change - far too old to use them myself but I'm good at eavesdropping!

Yeah, i see it as british aeronautical engineering too

Not too far from bae cardydd, but that one hadnt occured to me!
