based

1. The opposite of de-based.
In a world of 'monetization' (selling out), watering down your opinions to fit in with groups, and general politicization of everything, to be 'based' is to be true to your principles regardless of what others say or do.

2. A set of behaviors that better-read people would refer to as 'stoic'.

"Jimmy Carr is based as hell!"
