A two new words

Today I discovered the word basorexia. It means to have an intense hunger or craving to kiss someone or be kissed by someone.
The other is not a word, but a new meaning to an existing word - Side - I'll leave you to search the interent(sic) for the sub culture meaning.

Language, including very new language used only by younger people than me, always interests me.
Basorexia: I guess not a new word, but it was certainly unknown to me. Perhaps it occurs about as often as omorashi or whatever the word is that means a craving for that.
Side: I can only think of ordering from a restaurant menu here. Probably influenced by the fact that I am currently away from home on holiday.

I guess there's another meaning though aside from the basic one.
A two: your construction in the topic title. Intriguing. Never heard that one before.

That is what happens when one changes the title and forgets to remove the first letter.
On the other hand I could claim it is my version of, 'all your bases are belong to us'!

That sounds pretty sinister, though I'm not sure I understand it.
(Sorry about pulling your leg. I tease people sometimes, but I fully expect to get my come-uppance too.

'All your bases are belong to us', is famous in the world of gaming (though I'm not a gamer), it was a mistranslation from the Japanese video game, Zero Wing. It dates from the early 1990s.
