stealing a base

When you take the next step(base) in a relationship without consent.

Did you hear about Jesse and Chloe?
Yeah, I think she dumped him after he tried stealing a base.
That’s rough.

Based

A word used to show approval of or agreement with a meme, video or other general post that is usually extremely sexist or misogynistic in nature. Particularly common in reddit comment sections.

Person A: *shows a meme*
Person B: *nods in approval* “Based.”

Another example:
Person A: “Dude, look at this based meme I made!”
Person B: “Damn bro, that’s so based.”

Bronsted-Lowry/Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory

An acid/base definition that suggests an Brønsted–Lowry acid is any molecule that can donate a proton, and a Brønsted–Lowry base is any molecule that accepts the proton. Protons can be referred to as H+ or "hydrogen ions," so if you see those terms used in a textbook they all mean the same thing. When a Brønsted–Lowry acid gives its proton away, it is "deprotonated" and can now accept a proton; now that it has become an acceptor, it is referred to as a conjugate base. The same rule applies to Brønsted–Lowry bases: once they gain a proton (are protonated), they are known as conjugate acids.

student: i'm a little confused with this functional group. the reading says that the carboxylic acid (COOH) group loses its proton, H, making the formula COO−. now that there's a space on the oxygen that's vacant, could the group accept a proton in the empty space? wouldn't that make the group a base?
teacher: yeah, acids turn into things known as conjugate bases when they lose hydrogen ions. the space where a proton used to be is now available for bonding, and the group or molecule becomes a proton acceptor/Brønsted–Lowry base
that's how you use the Bronsted-Lowry/Brønsted–Lowry Acid-Base Theory

Base Layer

(Used in public washrooms) The layer of toilet paper placed in the toilet so no one can hear the plop of your poop.

Man, I had to do a double base layer just in case for that one!
