Boy: dude lmao what are you talking about?

"Hey did you see the Update mace gave? He is the most based dev I have ever encountered"
"dude I just took out a second mortgage to ape risq, that update Mace gave was so Based I couldnt help myself"
A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.
