When I first saw bashate, my eyes focused on "hate" in there for some
reason. Not sure if others noticed this, but my advice would be to
stay away from it for that reason. basheight has the same euphemism
without the harshness, IMHO. Though now that I type this, I do see
"height" in there, though it's less offensive than "hate".
