based/base

Bazowane [Eng. Based] or baza [Eng. base] – these are, respectively, an adjective and a noun that express a positive evaluation, approval, or even admiration, in agreement with the the interlocutor’s statement. The words are sometimes used ironically. They refer to the current meanings in American slang , where based*  means ‘I agree, you’re right,’ and also refers to  ‘someone/something great; exceptional,’ as well as the term base  meaning ‘good, great’ (see https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=based; https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=base).

In the 1980s, the slang word based (derived from the term ‘basehead’, which in turn comes from ‘freebase’ – ‘to smoke a specially crafted form of cocaine’) referred to people who were addicted to cocaine or who acted as if they were addicted to it. Rapper Brandon “Lil B” McCartney, in response to people calling him based, decided to redefine the term. In 2007, his group The Pack released its debut album Based Boys. In a 2010 interview with Complex magazine, Lil B explained that, in his view, the word based means being yourself, being unafraid and not caring what others think, carrying yourself with pride.   (See https://www.dictionary.com/e/slang/based/, among others).

The word based meaning ‘the agreement with someone’s opinion (sometimes ironically) began to be used in online discussions about politics (see https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=based among others).

The word base is currently used to mean something basic, obvious, certain as in the question: ‘Do you feel the base? ‘Do you understand?
