This is the inventor of the term on the left. Does he look "stupid" to you?
I didn't think so.

based is a high iq term
it's incredibly nuanced. it doesn't merely signal agreement or appreciation. it expresses a unique affinity for your fellow poster, that his words have resonated with you on an intensely personal level. when i tell anon he's "based", it's an expression of the utmost affection

Based:
verb
past tense: based; past participle: based; adjective: -based
1.
have as the foundation for (something); use as a point from which (something) can develop.

Hard disagree, OP.
“Based” captures the world-feeling of the contemporary Western man—at least those who are still in their right minds—better than any single word has ever done for its respective time.

“We are completely perplexed, then, and you must clear up the question for us, of what you intend to signify when you use the word "based". Obviously you must be quite familiar with what you mean, whereas we, who formerly imagined we knew, are now at a loss.”

I catch myself saying based all the time in conversation. It's so natural to me I don't even pick up on it sometimes and I'll say it a couple times until someone asks me what it means. Some people even make fun of it but the so natural to me I can't fathom how someone could find it weird
