Short for "debased," referring to a concept, object, practice or ideology that has been stripped of its intrinsic significance by association with and absorbption into the mass cultural continuum. Used meta-ironically, given that the word is itself a slang contraction and represents the debasement it seeks to impartially describe.

The cringiest term in the English language. Originally meaning positive affirmation of a statement, its connotation has been eroded by dude bros and cuckflakes using it amongst themselves to denote what they agree with so they can pat each other on the back.
It now simply denotes those who effectively ruined the word and destroyed its meaning.
