    I’m approaching 40 rapidly, I can’t say “based” without cringing.

        Wait, it’s named after a guy!?!

        Yo give me my walking cane, I’m out of this game.

            You’re not, but someone did. After the fact, I mean. Like not as part of its origin. Like as a lie.

              No, no. This was Li’l B’s blueprint from the outset. Li’l B has bitches and sex every day. That’s how he became BasedGod. It’s like One Punch Man.

        I’ve found that if I don’t say those things and just treat younger people with respect then I don’t get made fun of for being old so much.

      46 here. It irritates me for reasons I can’t explain.

        I can. We’re old and it’s new.

          I’m old and don’t mind it. I absolutely hate “yeet,” though.

            That’s a millennialism.

              I could swear “based” has been around about as long.

                Well these things always have their roots in the past and get re-appropriated from other uses, but I don’t recall seeing the term before 2 - 3 years ago.
