What does "based" actually mean

what does "based" actually mean

just saying based doesnt actually make any sense, why did Yas Forums decide to use "based" as a synonym for "epic" or "cool"?

I think it comes from the 90's slang for cocaine 'BASE'

tybg

I think it comes from the American game of Baseball where "base" means "American" and by extension -- "cool"

Someone call the BASED department

Fucking Corona-chan releasing all these summerfags early.

It's not about being cool or epic. It's all about being yourself.

There is no way to explain what based means in words. You either get it or don't.

Based means like solid or fundamental

irl i started calling everything "based" about six months ago, whether i liked it or not, to convey both positive and negative emotions and now my family thinks i am mentally unwell and they can't understand what i mean most of the time

Based.

based on what?

Based.

it was a word some rapper used in reference to drug use

I have no idea how it came to mean what it means on Yas Forums. I'm sure it started ironically.

It is an antonym of the english word debased morons.

Maybe you are actually unwell, matusez

Welcome, newfriend! A useful resource for you is the website knowyourmeme.com! Don't worry, you'll be up to speed in two years. That may seem like a long time, but it really isn't compared to the FOREVER that you're here.

it's derived from the acid-base balance. based means that there is much more base than acid and that's great, because who likes acid lol
