I almost have to LOL whenever someone uses the term "based" these days. It's one of those overused words or phrases that swaps its slang meaning between generations. To my generation (graduated HS in the early 80s) the term "based" came from the term used for someone who was addicted to freebasing cocaine. These were typically wild, irrational people who would do anything for another hit and were typically about a half step from killing themselves with their addiction.

I often have trouble understanding what teenagers are saying because they use words to mean different things to the meaning they had when I was their age. When I was a teenager saying someone was "sick" or "wicked" was a derogative insult or a negative comment about their attitude, now I'm led to believe it's a compliment.
