A rather
trendy, however controversial form of endearment, 'bae' is a nickname for a friend, lover, etc.
It is seen as an abbreviation of '
babe'. 'Bae' is seen to be a ghetto word, however it has gained mainstream use as a result of its frequent comical mention on social media such as
Vine, Instagram and Facebook, mainly in the United States.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not a Danish word for 'poop', the Danish word for poop is 'agterstavn'.
