You probably hear this term of endearment often

Baeis an acronym that stands forBefore Anyone Else.

There’s also a second, far less popular meaning for it.

Apparently, bae translates to “poop” in Danish.

This, of course, is irrelevant for most of us who don’t speak Danish.

Sometimes the word “my” is omitted when referring to a significant other.

Postingbaeonline or sending it in text messages is one thing, but saying it out loud is quite another.

You might hearbaepronounced out loud the same way you would say the wordbay.

It’s weird, but it’s happening.

Example 2:“Me and bae just set our wedding date!

Example 3:“Just had the best date ever tonight with my bae!”

So, why now?

Sometimes that’s all you better turn something into a big deal online.

That’s just the way it goes sometimes.
