Really? I always just thought that “bae” was a cutesy diminutive form of the pet nickname “baby”. :)
Oh wait you are a prescriptionist. Nevermind.
Well, the scripts of the past invented thousands of shorthands for exactly the same purpose: save a few letters.
was invented because writing "at" needs 2 letters, while writing "” needs 1 letter.And they don’t imply intellectual inferiority. At least when Isaac Newton’s time (350 years ago), the & sign was still frequently used in formal writing the same way as the word “and” (I read some letters written by Newton, and they contained quite a few &).
Let’s be fair, you have no real way of knowing just how relevant it was back then.
I’m glad that there are people who get that reference. Odd that a character from a short novel that mostly satirized children’s literature of 150 years ago is more relevant now than ever before, but there you have it.
Yeah, I figured you meant the one around “Jabberwocky”, but I couldn’t remember the exact details, so I chose to be facetious instead.
Check chapter 6 of Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.
Yeah, its usage here is especially odd.

It’s just a shortened version of ‘baby’. You know, because typing that one extra character is so bloody hard/time consuming. /shaking my head
The C-list Batman villain?
I would assume it’s short for the term of endearment, Baby.
You know, like it sounds if you try to say it.

…If she’s “before anyone else”, why is she less important than this book? Do we live in a world where words have no meaning?
@Lawful Girly
Oh, God, why? Keep your shitty, ridiculous terms out of my pony art. If I’m not mistaken, it stands for ‘before anyone else’, which is a ridiculous term for someone’s significant other, in my opinion. Also, I wish people would stop murdering the English language with these shitty internet acronyms. I get that it’s faster and easier to use them in IM and text messages, and that’s fine, but when people start using them in actual speech I start to lose my bloody mind.
“Bae”? Sounds Korean, I dunno.
Hell, if you can’t even manage to put down the books for that one, at least go and take the damn book with you, you’ll seem slightly less uncaring.
