        We used to use spent when we were too lazy to say washed up. Or fucked.

        But you can’t use 4 letter words or your social media will get de-emphasized and your referral traffic will be washed fucked.

          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.
