Bae
含义: A term of endearment for a significant other; sometimes said to stand for 'before anyone else.'
Bae exploded in popularity around 2013-2014 as a trendy alternative to 'babe' or 'baby.' Some claim it's an acronym for 'Before Anyone Else,' though it likely started as a shortened form of 'babe.' It can refer to a person ('she's my bae') or be used as an adjective ('that's so bae'). It peaked in usage around 2014-2016 but is still understood and used.
