Reading Time: 2 minutes There’s little doubt, at least in my own twisted mind, that one of the most annoying terms of endearment that have been adopted, or, in this case, invented, is the simple and annoying word, bae. But until relatively recently most people thought it was the ideal word for the person closest to your heart. But …
