But where did bae come from?ĭ states that the word stems from the early 2000s and was a shortening of baby or babe.īae was used in mainstream media for the first time in Pharell’s “Come Get it Bae,” and Google Trends shows that the word bae has been trending since 2004.īut bae was first submitted to Urban Dictionary in 2003 with the definition “a bastardization of the term ‘babe’ as pronounced typically in a Vietnamese accent.”
More importantly, Urban Dictionary says bae is also an acronym for “before anyone else,” which is the definition I remember.

And now it’s in the dictionary? Now I even use it interchangeably with babe.īut if you don’t know what it means by now or its origin, you might be too embarrassed to ask. Thankfully, we’ve got you covered. I’d heard the word “bae” about a hundred times before I had the courage to ask someone what it meant.
