Bae:
Etymology: From an onomatopoeia expressing disgust.
Danish: Noun meaning, Poop, Crap.
Boo:
said to show disapproval or contempt, especially at a performance or athletic contest.
Also sound used to represent ghosts.
Two words used prolifically in todays younger, and current generations as
an endearing "pet" name for their significant others...
Why?! What happened to baby, or sweetheart, or love, sweetie, honey, sweet cheeks!
all much more acceptable than Bae... or boo... You sound ridiculous, it's not cute. To be
fair, the list of preferred words don't make people sound more sophisticated. However,
at least the old words actually meant something nice, loving, and mushy.
The new "popular" words are more like attacks on the person you'er referring to.
I guess it's not that surprising when you stop to consider the words people have started to
substitute for sex. Destroy, smash... Are you kidding?! "Fucking" wasn't "hardcore" enough?
Why isn't the word sex suitable?...
On the subject of words, what the hell is with everything being shortened?
The list is enormous but the most egregious by far is ILY!
Seriously, you cant say "I love you"? Arguably one of the most important phrases
in the english language and you shortened it, its already only three syllables, three
words. It takes seconds to type, and it has the power to make someones day!
It is important, and important words deserve to be written out and said in long form.
The people you use these words on are some of the most important people in your life
ACT LIKE IT!
