When used in online political language it can mean 'based in fact' or the opposite of biased due to the number of people who saw it being first used seriously by the online political right and came to the conclusion that is was related to the phrase 'destroyed with facts and logic' in reference to right wing personality Ben Shapiro. For that reason the word is largely used meta-ironically (without context you can't tell if it's being used ironically or sincerely as it's used in both ways) and was popularized in online political slang of conservatives and the political right before being adopted into mainstream online political slang (likely through shitposting websites or subreddits such as r/politicalcompass memes that are similar to 4chan in their meta-irony and 'edginess' but contain a wider variety of political beliefs) and eventually adopted into general online vernacular. BASED is used as a slang word to indicate that someone is cool and confident. The latter usage is the original use as coined by rapper Lil B, and the word originally took off on the meta-ironic website 4Chan with the latter meaning. BASED means Cool and Confident or Correct. The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased. Update: This word was added in September 2022.
