2. In reference to the sexual encounter itself, whereby you engage in risky business and will likely require the application of 'Base Up' in the near future.
3. As a noun referring to the sanitiser itself.
"I didn't use a condom, better base up"
"Should we base up before going to the clubs?"
"Who used all the base up?"
