Urban Dictionary Explains: ‘Basic’

The word "basic" can mean plenty of different things but Urban Dictionary's definition is way better.

I've heard "basic" thrown around a bunch but I've always kind of wondered what it meant. There was a general feeling of what "basic" meant but I'm glad I consulted this hilarious online dictionary to clear the air.

Urban Dictionary top definition of "basic" is...

"An adjective used to describe any person, place, activity involving obscenely obvious behavior, dress, action.

Unsophisticated.

Transparent motives."

So, then the most "basic" of all people are The Kardashian's.

Need more? Here's another definition:

A word "Used to describe someone devoid of defining characteristics that might make a person interesting, extraordinary, or just simply worth devoting time or attention to."

So a "basic" person is just someone who is really boring.

An Urban Dictionary user also provided a sentence using the word to really drive the point home.

"I tried to get to know him, but after I spent 10 minutes with him, I realized he was too basic for me to waste time on."

How about another?

"He's probably the dumbest person on earth. Too basic to even carry on a semi-intelligent conversation."

It's confirmed,"basic" basically means boring. Great! Now I need to check and see if I'm "basic."
