"Bae" and "Bea" are similar words and quite interesting . Lets talk about Bae Since Miley and Parrell's song "Come get it Bae" was released last July, the word "bae  went viral for everything associated with couples, lover, and other related kind of relationship. The say "Bae" is a short form of baby or babe.  Urban dictionary says it is an acronym for Before anyone else. It is also a danish word for "poop"  Now you get it. Lets talk about Bea When I was searching for the Word "Bae" I mistakenly typed "Bea", and found this on you tube. Very sweet indeed. Bea can also be a short name for Beyonce, Beatrice, Beautiful. it is also an abbreviation for a lot on things. In my opinion, It should replace Bae when referring to a lady. The guys should be the Bae. Anyways Bae or Bea, all is Boo. What a world!! What do you think?
