g0ldie 09/22/21 4:49:41 PM #3:	if you're ever curious about any slang, you should check out Urban Dictionary. based A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang. The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased. --- https://imgur.com/mApEnf3 <cite>g0ldie posted [p:958305797] in "base...

Doe 09/22/21 5:11:46 PM #14:	It has a lot of contextual uses but it typically boils down to saying something that is widely disagreed about while also confidently owning the opinion. Commonly used in the alt right to describe "facts don't care about your feelings" type opinions, but can be used outside of that community. It can also be used to describe a person's unorthodox lifestyle that they live confidently. --- https://imgur.com/u5kY6Yt https://imgur.com/V6HBhkR <cite>Doe posted [p:958306530] in "base...
