0 someone you love; a boyfriend or girlfriend: --
[ as form of address ] Hey, bae. What's up?
A good rule of thumb for now at least: if you would use the words boo or babe in some circumstance, you can probably use bae.
One day, bae is everywhere.
And bae was a buzzword that didn't have the weight or broadness they were looking for.
And as more people say bae, it's likely that the meaning will shift in any case.
Others argue that bae is simply a shortened version of babe, which would similarly account for the rare ae juxtapostion.
But perhaps she was there to support her bae.
