Based?

As in:

Based on/in truth?

You have the correct opinion because it is based on truth?

It might be unpopular, but it is BASED on truth.

You see the word now?

based

Is a deprecated, overused term. It's like "meme" it gets used WAY too often.

the term 'meme' was invented by an atheist (The word meme itself is a neologism coined by Richard Dawkins, originating from his 1976 book The Selfish Gene)

Some say so, but I thought it pretty much meant "homosexual".

I guess it's all about context, or something.

That's about right, basically the Murdoch Murdoch usage, but that's my only point of reference to the word being used conversationally. It's kinda funny though, if you remove the "d" at the end the meaning turns around completely. Words are fun

Thank you jello-bro, that makes your earlier compliment even nicer.

It comes from the rapper Lil B. It's niggerspeak.

Based got layers.

Based in reality. Based on facts. Based on a true story.

Striking at the heart of the issue, the base. Cutting through the bullshit to the base problem. Laying out the foundation of the logical reasoning in any situation without regard to any tangent irrelevance.

Based.

The original meaning was from rappers. Saying somebody was 'based' or a 'basehead' meant they were smoking crack cocaine. But words do change meaning over time, and with the advent of the internet that time has been shortened drastically.
