The word Based has been dragged through irony and sarcasm hell. The problem is that the alternative (cool) is even worse. We need a new word.

You NEED that new word. Can't live without it.
There have been a lot of words for that concept; they tend to have a short lifespan.
Yes, I do. Give it to me. 今!
It's still very much sincere outside of this retard-sphere.
It's only used ironically on this board and certain other imageboards , though. It's still cool everywhere else, isn't it? And what's wrong with "cool"? I still say "cool" all the time along with "dude" and "whoa" and other stuff that is hated on most boards.
Then how come I feel like I am pissing on the person I am trying to praise, when I am using it outside of this place

Because you've acknowledged this culture as a part of you and you follow its customs even when you leave. Funnily the anti-/qa/ crusaders end up sounding more and more like /qa/ as time goes on, too.

Who popularized the word "based" on 4chan anyway? I know it's from that rapper but did it spread from a particular board or is it just part of 'murrican pop culture?
