BAE
UK weapons manufacturer
Bae is a term of endearment for a romantic partner, short for "baby" or "babe." It gained popularity through social media and hip-hop culture in the 2010s: My bae surprised me with flowers.
Sometimes used ironically or applied to things one loves: Pizza is bae.
A false etymology claims it stands for "before anyone else."
