Bae is a popular slang term used predominantly by younger generations to refer to their significant others. It is an acronym for Before Anyone Else, indicating the importance of the person in one's life. Essentially, Bae is a playful abbreviation of the word babe. This term has gained traction mostly among individuals born after 1995. Some might note that Bae translates to poop in Danish, but this humorous coincidence is usually overlooked, as the term is used in English-speaking contexts.
Another related slang term is "Side Bae," which refers to an individual one might be romantically involved with outside of a primary relationship.
