For all intents and purpose, it's when two people are dating, but one or both is afraid to say so publicly.
We're basically dating but we aren't telling anyone because we don't want to hear other people's opinions yet.

1. Sharon is fake as hell, she's definitely not bringing it back to basics.

An emotional teenager/young adult that dresses in dark colors, shops at Hot Topic, whines about the world, and casually self-harms.
Charlie uploaded another video of him saying he hates everyone while applying eyeliner.
Ugh, he's such a basic Emo.

When a guy is hot but there is nothing special about his hotness, in other words, you recognize that he’s hot but you’re not attracted to him

Average looking girls; who are free, easy, not hard to get. There is not much to look at, you do not get the good Channels

A bitch that done fucked the hood. A bitch that got pregnant by a married nigga. A bitch that thinks just cause he got you pregnant that he's going to leave his wife. A bitch that cries child support cause her baby daddy don't want her. A bitch that screenshots every damn thing. A bitch who complains about her baby daddy not being shit, knowing damn well he wasn't shit when he climbed on top your ugly ass. A bitch who lives off the system but has every hot new thing that's out. You know you're basic when you're fucking with married and taken men. If you guilty of any of this, YOU'RE A BASIC HOE.
Yeah, I fucked your husband, now he fathers my child, because, I'm a basic hoe and can't get my own.
