  • Bae means before anyone else.

  • Before anyone else? How would people even? So why do people call each other bae?

  • So if I was standing at the line at Chipotle and someone asked me if I was in line, I could

  • just say bae.

  • Almost like your first love. Almost, but it's also interchangeable with babe or baby.
