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

but which son it is is normally irrelevant

In which case, DS is still shorter than "son"

YANBU. In fact, if you're older than 15 I'd judge you for not hating it.

I love the evolution of language and all the slang terms we know so well.

So is it pronounced as bay or bay-ee?

I've never heard of it before - so how old does that make me?

@cigarsofthepharoah - I came on to same precisely the same thing. It's like when people sneer at made-up names for being "trashy." Really uncomfortable when they are characteristic of a group that suffers so much racism.

Maybe stop and wonder why the name Charlotte and the blandishment darling seem so much "classier" than the name Latonquay and the blandishment bae.

It couldn't be because the former two are associated with the group that has held economic and cultural power for the last two centuries and the latter are associated with a group who have been economically, socially and culturally disenfranchised over the same period could it?? And naturally criticising the latter two as being somehow inherently bad couldn't possibly be contributing to the climate of discrimination which that disadvantaged group suffers from... Of course not. It's that bae is a "stupid" word. Definitely that.

Bae is pronounced bay.

I haven't seen THOT mentioned on mumsnet yet.

What's THOT and more importantly when did I become so out of touch? Harumph.

It means

That hoe over there

I hate it. For example "Jane is a thot" " your friend is a thot"

Never heard it before and as a native Dutch speaker, the "poo" meaning is a new one to me too!

Bae (or bey) is definitely a west wales thing. "Alright bey" a term of endearment

I quite like "illy bae" But I'd never heard of it, thot, squad goals, viners or thug life until this very thread.

Old and proud.

Bae has been around ages.

As has fleek, or nah, side chick, thot, thirsty (as in desperate)

It confuses me that it's being discussed now

Vine is hilarious.

Its all bae, fleek, on point and squad goals in this house (13 yo )

What is LTB?!

Dammit I thought I was up to speed.

What is LTB?!

Clearly you don't hang out on the Relationships board.

I am so out of touch, I had no idea any of these expressions existed. (I'm really not THAT old....am I?) My kids are only 4,6 and 8, maybe I will know more teenage slang when they are teenagers? Please tell me I will.

you will

My dd screeched 'omg SQUAD SQUAD SQUAD' when watching taylor swifts new video today. She also says 'hannah is bae' or 'katelyn brought haribo in today, BAE!'

She gets it from Vine

I hate it , it is ridiculous, that is how toddlers just learning to talk say baby, It actually means SHIT in Danish, so if someone calls you bae they are calling you a turd, there is also the acronym B.A.E which in restaurant speak means bacon and eggs.

It actually means SHIT in Danish, so if someone calls you bae they are calling you a turd

They are not calling you a turd unless you both speak Danish and are using it in that context. The same way that when I light up a fag I'm not actually setting fire to an American gay man and when my German friend offers me a biscuit she's offering me a cookie and not some trousers/underpants to go with my coffee.

'Go Get It Bae' is the Pharrell song played in the latest M&S TV advert. We shazamed it - first time I'd heard the word.
