basica

Micro$oft BASICA (short for "Advanced BASIC") is a simple disk-based BASIC interpreter written by Micro$oft for PC-DOS. BASICA allows use of the ROM-resident BASIC included with early models of IBM's PC while DOS is loaded (the ROM BASIC itself runs when nothing is loaded when booting) and adds functionality such as file access and storage of programs on disk. It does not run on non-IBM PCs and even on later IBM models, since those lack the requisite ROM BASIC.

Later versions : Qbasic and Visual Basic
which both inherited its syntax...

Basica

Basica is a term given to people of the highest order. They have a creed by which they live: " To advance, you must first learn the basics". They are often seen wearing sunglasses throughout their lifetime and have remarkable physical prowess, with one being recorded as able to throw a ball at a speed of up to 210kph. Though talented in many regards, they have a speech impairment which forces them to use the words "oi", "ban" and " Machan" in every sentence. They often crash out and say mother was right.

ya basic

Another way to say "you're boring" or "low-class". It's become popular recently largely because of its usage by the character Eleanor on The Good Place.

Basic Ben: Hey Jen, what if the deep state brainwashed us all into forgetting that cereal is just soup, but the broth is milk?
Jen: Just stop, Ben. Please. For your own sake. Ya basic!

Basic Bitch

Someone who is unflinchingly upholding of the status quo and stereotypes of their gender without even realizing it. She engages in typical, unoriginal behaviors, modes of dress, speech, and likes. She is tragically/laughably unaware of her utter lack of specialness and intrigue. She believers herself to be unique, fly, amazing, and a complete catch, when really she is boring, painfully normal, and par. She believes her experiences to be crazy, wild, and different or somehow more special than everything that everybody else is doing, when really, almost everyone is doing or has done the exact same thing. She is typical and a dime a dozen. There are many subtypes of basicness, such as the basic ratchet, the basic sorority bitch, the basic groupie bitch, the basic I'm-so-Carrie-from-Sex-and-the-City bitch, etc, but ultimately, they all share the common thread of being expendable and unnoteworthy and, in some cases, having absolutely no redeeming qualities.

"I've gotta get to Hollister and Bath and Body works for the third time this week, the just announced a new sale! I just don't know how I'll ever fit in that mani-pedi with Amanda and Brittney today. Ugh, I'm just going to call in sick with my period. I need a Pumpkin Spice latte or a Cosmo right now, I can't handle this pressure. Can we go to Applebee's for dinner tonight? ...Ooh, the new Shia Labeouf movie! LOVE HIM!" - basic bitch inner monologue
