Meaning of bae (what is it, concept and definition)

What is BAE:

BAE is an acronym for the English expression "before anyone else", which can be translated as "before anyone else". Figuratively, it means "above anyone", "more important than others" or "priority before others".

This expression is frequently used on social media and is very popular with younger people. It is used to demonstrate the affection of one person towards another.

As expected, the expression was generalized from its use in English-speaking countries, when the hashtag #BAE became popular on the networks. From there it quickly passed to use in different language communities, which have adopted it as a universal term.

In Spanish, the expression is usually used in many ways. For example: "You are my bae", which means "You are the most important person in my life".

The acronym BAE is therefore a modern form of writing for expressing affection between people, which emphasizes the hierarchy of the relationship.

The intention of this expression is to reveal to the loved one the importance that it has in the priority list of who manifests itself, whether it is the affection of a couple, family or friendship.

This type of expressions adds to the long list of acronyms popularized in social networks, which today have modified the language and which represent the formation of new communication alternatives.

Among the most popular acronyms we can identify TBT (Throwback Thursday - 'Thursday of yesteryear'), LOL (Laughing out loud - 'laugh out loud') and OMG (Oh My God! - 'My God!'), Etc.

However, care needs to be taken because in some countries there is the word bae with very little encouraging meaning. This is the case in Denmark and the Danish language, where the word bae literally means 'manure'.
