What does "____ or nah?" mean?
And what the hell does "bae" mean?

What are they used for and when are these used?

[quote=Boss]Or no.
Babe.

Don't need to overcomplicate things, context and common sense are all you need here...

Should you run into slang like "chop" (c. 2014) or "OTL", however, then you'll be let off the hook.[/quote]

yeah really. It's not that hard to understand slang, just listen to context. I hear some random stuff all the time from people and I always understand what they mean like it's not hard lol

___ or nah? seems pretty obvious, I've heard variations of that before.

Use bae as babe, but use it sarcastically.

you can use those words for anything...

bae is basically another word for babe
and "____ or nah" can either be a comment
or question, depending on the usage of it

[quote=klu180]"____ or nah?" is either used to invite someone to something or to make commentary.
"Bubble tea or nah" (invite) / "Ratchet or nah" (commentary, saying something is ratchet [what does ratchet even mean?])[/quote]

They're asking if they like Ratchet and Clank right?

I have only heard bae. I'm pretty sure that means babe.

As for the first one, I've never seen/heard that. I feel un-hip.

Bae actually stands for 'before anyone else' but people use it interchangeably with babe so

Bae means babe so that's pretty self explanatory for what it's used for.
