Morphology

BDE = big + dick + energy (semi-transparent) = B + D + E

Initialism of the slang phrase 'big dick energy' — component words signal the metaphor, but the overall idiomatic, slangy meaning is not fully predictable for learners.

Etymology

BDE comes from the slang phrase 'big dick energy', a crude way to say someone has very strong, quiet confidence. So BDE now means a confident, impressive presence that makes people notice you.
