Is this because bae is part of the implied noun phrase “his bae?” Or does bae stand on its own as an adjective here? We’d have to ask the individual tweeters to know for sure, and then, they might not even have an answer. But is there a so, my, or the being implied in “pizza is bae”? Returning to Ashley Ford’s tweet “Oh, he wants Meg Ryan to be Bae so he don’t want to tell her he’s Rich Bookstore Man?” we see that Ford capitalizes bae, treating it as a proper noun. In the second example, bae is clearly an adjective (“pizza is so bae” is like “pizza is so good”), and in the last two examples, bae is clearly a noun (“pizza is my/the food”). “Pizza is bae” could be like “pizza is good,” in which case bae would be an adjective, or it could be like “pizza is food,” in which case bae would be a noun. All of these examples express the same sentiment: “I love pizza,” but there’s something funny about the first example.
