What's based? Sorry I'm washed.

[–] bandwidthcrisis 4 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Based in reality, I think.

And if anyone is wondering, riz is charisma.

Based actually comes from freebased. Which is what you do to cocaine to make it crack.

Based used to mean something cringe worthy until the rapper Lil B started using it in a positive context.

Now it's sort of the opposite of cringe.

Here's a fun little curiosity that profoundly annoys me: here in Brazil "cringe" accidentally got the wrong meaning. It was being heavily used online, so a famous TV news program decided to "explain what it means" to the older generation and accidentally explained it as "cringe means everything older generations are or do" so in other words, a lot of brazilians that aren't used to internet slang believe "cringe" means "somebody over 30" rather than actual cringe.
