  • Bae is a slang term of endearment primarily used among youth in communities. It came into widespread use around 2013 and 2014 through social media and hip-hop and R&B lyrics. It usually refers to a person's romantic partner, especially a boyfriend or girlfriend, but has also been used as a general term of affection for things, including inanimate objects. The word can be used in a gender-neutral sense. The term originated as an abbreviation of the word "baby" or "babe". It has been suggested that the term originated as an acronym for "before anyone else", but this is unlikely and this false etymology is probably an example of a backronym. An alternative spelling ‘Bay’ with identical meaning was used by author Isaac Asimov in his Foundation series. (en)
