Spoiler - the dictionary reflects the words that are currently being used by the people who speak a language, not defines what words they can and can't use. This is why new words that fall into common use periodically get added to it.

Yeah. Laugh it up. Laugh at the guy that thought the tag of shirts went in the front for the first 25 years of his life. You can be a real jerk sometimes

Nope. You probably think that just cause pants do. But that's obvious cause the zipper is there in the back so you can poop while keeping the front of your legs warm

1. Complaining about slang is silly. I don't use it either but doing so just makes people sound dismissive about anything "new"

2. "Bae" hasn't even been commonly used in a while. Get with the times papaw.

I feel like some of it is mostly just social media too. Cause I always hear about new words but I don't use social media and almost never hear people say them in person. I think people like spelling things out more than actually pronouncing them in person. Teenagers probably are more likely to use the words in real conversation tho

Yeah, I'm an undergrad in my 30s, and most of the students at school just use common phrases. It kind of reminds me of in the 90s when media used words like "radical" and "gnarly", but I knew literally nobody who used them IRL in a serious fashion.

nah, it's still false
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bae_(word)

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.

https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/12/the-lamentable-death-of-bae/384086/
http://time.com/3026192/this-is-what-bae-means/
https://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/dictionary/bae-watch-the-ascent-of-a-new-pet-name/
https://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2016/10/17/false-acronyms/

An alteration of babe or baby, bae is not in fact short for before anyone else, though the belief that it is may have contributed to its widespread popularity in online communities, where everyone loves a good abbreviation or initialism.
