How do you say "based" in Hebrew?

(no, not the literal translation of the word "based", I'm wondering if they have a colloquial slang phrase for it)

You would be looking for a Yiddish word. (but I dont know what it would be)

'Mensch' would probably come closest.

someone to admire and emulate, someone of noble character.

Heheh. That ain't it. Apparently that's a Yiddish expression of exasperation, i.e. "oy vey, I got a parking ticket!"

Oh, and side note: urbandictionary.com has gone full woke. Whenever you look something up, next to every definition, is a random left-wing-nutcase definition such as "COVID speakeasy: an unlawful place to gather and socialize".

My new name for them: urbansuckmydicktionary.com

maybe 'gvarim' which literally translates to 'men' but it's used in hebrew slang to say that someone is awesome. 'totachim' (cannons in hebrew) also stands for it as well.
