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

It's also a West Country dialect word, although spelt differently. Bey is boy in Deb'nshur :)

What is thug life?

Thug life is like badass.

My first language is Dutch but I've never heard of bae as a synonym for poop.

If we didn't have "made up words" then English wouldn't be the amazingly rich and beautiful language it is now. Shakespeare made up loads of words.

'Twas ever thus with teenage slang. They use it. Old people hate it. It becomes part of everyday parlance. We all use it.

Chillax!

BAE to me is British Aerospace. Although it used to be BAC (British Aerospace Corporation, I think). But that's because they were the main employer where I grew up.

Thanks for thug life definition

I am trying to bring back "chinny reckon" into common parlance. So good. Please fellow oldsters; join me?

My 11 year old says "amazing horse" all the time. Funny but WTF? Good plan for the day? "It will be amazing horse!".

disco

discophile what about "Jimmy Hill chinny reckon"?

It's swedish or Danish for poo, not Dutch

Jimmy Hill invented chinny reckon? News to me. Still going to keep using it though.

How do you pronounce it, is it bay?

I've seen it on twitter, I follow someone who's very funny now & again he/she uses fleek for eyebrows & bae.

Those were the days when Saturday afternoons were suffused with televisual sport. Stuart Hall, Eddie Grundy (Waring?) Now I feel a bit Alan Partridge. Does Alan Partridge say chinny reckon

There's some debate about it's origin and meaning.

Ha! Johnny5 brilliant x post!

discophile I don't think he invented it, just that he was famous for his ...erm...prominent chin

son looked up and said they are a bit ' hanging around outside McDonalds'

thats a BAD thing

Given the amount of confusing 'insider' acronyms on this site, I don't think we can get too uppity about the kids having their own.

I personally find the whole DH DD DS (especially as it is sometimes unclear if it is Sister or Son) or whether DD2 (is a two year old, the second daughter or the second child) annoying and affected, but I guess it is a site convention that grew up way before I was here. [shrugs shoulders]

lets face it, Ds1 is the same amount of typing as ' son'

the DH/DD/DS thing is internet generally though, not just MN. It's mostly just AIBU/YABU that's MN-specific (unless LTB is also a MNism?)

lets face it, Ds1 is the same amount of typing as ' son'

But less than "eldest son"

Another dutchie here: it's def not a Dutch word

It originated in AAVE - it came from African-American culture, so dismissing it as nonsensical and tweenie could be quite offensive. Just FYI
