Get the Based mug.Slang: Agreement with a regressive opinion to try to fit in with a crowd. Could be read as short for 'Based on conformity'. The polar opposite of punk.
May have had a different slang definition originally, but this has what it has become through online usage.

Moron 1: ""Hitler had the right idea""
Moron 2: "That's based, bro."

Get the Based mug.Free Base Counseling (WCAIC)
A signature support method developed by WCAIC (Women and Children Affected by Internet Crimes) that focuses on helping clients “strip down” their emotional defenses to a raw, honest base—free of social filters, guilt, or external control. The practice invites full transparency in a safe space where survivors, caregivers, or advocates can openly express thoughts or feelings without judgment. It’s about freeing the “base” self—your most genuine emotional core—from the restraints of trauma, fear, or manipulation.

Get the Free Base Counseling mug.An alternative to evidence-based decision making, "decision-based evidence making" is the practice of collecting evidence to support a pre-existing decision, rather than using evidence in any way to inform the decision itself.
This technique typically involves cherry-picking sources or relying on bad or unreliable authorities to justify or legitimise (after the fact) a questionable decision which has already been made.

Dr. Daniel Jernigan resigned from CDC in 2025, telling reporters that Robert F Kennedy Jr seems to be "going from evidence-based decision making to decision-based evidence making" as the Centres for Disease Control began citing debunked studies to support a dodgy claim that vaccines cause autism.

Get the base mug.Based is used to describe someone from "Base Reality" - It comes from the conflicting theories of if we are living in a "Base Reality" or a "Simulation". The concepts of differing realities (matrix style) gained traction after Elon Musk made the following statements:
1.) From the Recode Code Conference (2016) There is “a one in billions chance that this that is the world in which we live is base reality.” Which is to say, not a simulation.
2.) From the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast (2018): "Why would you make a simulation that's boring? You'd make a simulation that's way more interesting than base reality," Musk said.
A base reality is the idea that there are multiple layers of reality - and those who are from base reality or are "based" (usually associated with common sense and critical thinking) are living with those from a simulation or parallel reality/timeline.
