Nah, with Brønsted-Lowry bases/acids (although actually even then there are nonaqueous protic solvents which can be acidic, and various hydroxides which will dissociate in other solvents than water, so it’s not strictly true) that idea is good enough for high school chem. But Lewis acids/bases can be in any kind of solvent, or even solid or gas.
How can a man named after water be so based
Only aqueous solutions can be basic or acidic, so it makes sense to me.
