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'.
