basically

This is the word you use when you want to explain something but don't actually have any depth of knowledge. Just say 'basically' a whole bunch and everyone will still think you're super smart and thank you for shielding them from potentially complex concepts.

You: Sure I can explain nuclear fission. You basically have like neutrons and electrons and whatever and they basically go buckwild on each other and that make heat

Your idiot friends: you are a gentleman and a scholar

Basically I'm Gay

A 45-minute masterpiece by YouTuber Daniel Howell where he officially comes out as gay. In this video, he shares many important things, including some of his difficult childhood experiences and thoughts on labeling sexuality. At the time of posting he had over 6 million subscribers. Many people found this video incredibly powerful and, in result, the phandom was in tears. We are all proud of Dan!

Me: "OMG Dan came out, I'm so happy for him!"
Friend: "I need to watch it what's the video called"
Me: "'Basically I'm Gay'"

basically

When you suspect someone of being an idiot, count how many times they say 'basically' when talking.

So, basically, at the end of the day, when all's said and done, basically, my vocabluary is really really basic.

everything's basically fine

A philosophical viewpoint, a sort of Western version of wu-wei, those who expound this philosophy tend to be laid back but less than productive members of society.

Person 1: "Oh no I'll never make this deadline"

Person 2: "Yeah but everything's basically fine"

basically

Vastly overused word.

Word used when you don't want to explain all the things someone said wrongly in excruciating detail and since you don't care you just say basically.

So, basically, you just go inside and basically just ask for the sale and that's basically it.

Person 1: How do I fill out this form? Just put my name on it and the hours worked?

Person 2: Basically.
