![]() In July 2014, popular singer-songwriter Pharrell Williams released a song called “ Come Get It Bae.” In November 2014, a TIME article stated the term had been around since 2013. Well, to be honest, its origins are unclear. The term is most commonly used by millennials, specifically teens and young adults, many of whom use the word an alternative to babe or boo. That’s right - aside from being a term of endearment, bae can be used as an adjective. In fact, according to, the meaning of BAE - well, bae (all lowercase) - is “an affectionate term used to address or refer to one’s girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, etc.”įor example, if you wanted to say, “I’m hanging out with my boyfriend,” or, “Hanging out with Jay,” you would simply say, “Hanging out with bae,” though it’s important to note that the phrase can also be used to describe something which is “very cool or great.” Well, in short, BAE stands for “before anyone else.”īut BAE isn’t just an acronym. ![]() (Which stand for - in order - you only live once, shut the F up, I don’t care, I miss you, be right back, and are you?) But what does bae mean? We live in a world of acronyms: of YOLO and STFU, of IDC and IMU, and of BRB and RU.
