Anyone noticing that American couples started calling each other bae? Why are they doing that, is babe too difficult to pronounce? They both contain only a single syllable. Is hun for hunny/honey too quaint these days? That last b at the end of the word causing difficulties?
Of course, intimate couples haven’t called each other by names for decades. They use words like darling, sweety, honey, cupcakes, and in the 90s and 2000s, they try to scare each other by using the word boo. Remember that song by Usher and Alicia Keys, My Boo? That song comes up, my head gets filled with images of that ghost from Super Mario.
Anyway, they already shorten homeboy to homey or homes, so I guess if they call their significant others bae because babe is “old”, then they’re gonna call their friends ho? – Read on Path.
