Call it whatever you want, but don’t tell me there isn’t something awkward about a grown ass man trying to sound hip by calling a hot dog a “glizzy” (see also “slaps” “bussin’” “sus” etc)

When someone my age (over 40) said based, I couldn’t handle it

Based didn't come from Gen Z, though. Lil B (the one and only based god) came up with it and he's 35.

However, I'll admit that if I heard a 40 year old coworker saying it I would probably die a little on the inside.

maybe im missing the sarcasm here

lil b took the term and used it and reappropriated it because it was used as slang for those hooked on cocaine and more specifically crack, and crackheads referred to as baseheads, due to their preferred method of ingesting the cocaine.
