baes
Texted terms of endearment
Baes is the plural of bae, slang for a romantic partner or someone dear.
The term originated in African American English, possibly as a shortened form of "baby" or "babe," though some use it as an acronym for "before anyone else." Shoutout to all my baes.
The word peaked in popularity in the mid-2010s and now often carries an ironic or playful tone.
