How the retards at 4chan say "best".

There's no more to it than that, the other definitions you see are how the term got bastardized over the years. The reason you see "based" in online conversations all of the time now is because many started using it immediately after the Fappening.

This definition has been bastardized over the last several years and now people think that some rapper coined the term...well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but "based" is just an intentionally mispronunciation of "best".
"Remember The Fappening?"

"Fuck yeah, OP was based."
