“bae” is either Dutch or Danish for the solid waste one deposits in the toilet. How it came to be a term of endearment is a complete mystery. Also, I heard it the first time over 5 years ago, and it wasn’t from a “POC”, either.
“can be interpreted as both a testament to America’s growing acceptance of AAL and also to its ongoing cultural appropriation of it.”
That makes no sense. It is by definition American. No need to “accept” and not possible to “appropriate.”
Maybe a shortening of “babe?” They seem to use it in that context.
BTTT
No, it’s where you stand by the dock (of the bae).
She’s kind of saying white people are bad if they don’t use black slang, but they are also bad if they do.
SuperBad!
I never heard ‘Stan’, but I always tried to keep my distance from any Emimen stuff.
I’m surprised the article didn’t include the term
‘Clap Back’, which means to respond to a critism with equal vigor as the insult. But maybe that’s already too 2016.
I knew 25 out of 40, thanks to my older grandchildren, ages 18 and 11.

“No, it’s where you stand by the dock (of the bae)”
I thought that’s what werewolves do to the moon.
As a White person, I am quite fine with abjuring all use of "Black slang" - as long as the Blacks likewise promise to foreswear the use of all "White slang."

That's swell!

I always remember goober,on the Andy Griffith Show saying saying “yo”
Plus he wore baggy pants and his hat was not straight.
Some of those have been around for a while. “POS” and “vibe” been around for a long time. “Bae” and “ghost” go make at least to the millennials. “Simp” has been used for a very long time, though the meaning has shifted a little. I thought I knew “cap” and remembered when people started using it, but that was with the very different meaning of “shoot,” not “exaggerate.”
