Clickbait

A genre of video mainly on the platform YouTube which features a title and thumbnail about the game Fortnite that has something that looks cool or trending, but when clicked, the video is not about what the thumbnail was and is a poorly edited or not edited at all video about unedited Fortnite which usually results in a significant loss of braincells.

Flick Bait

When media is provocative in a manner (not necessarily involving nudity or sex) that encourages female masturbation.

i.e. Twilight or 50 Shades of Gray

"I was reading 50 Shades of Gray and I got so turned on over the thought of bondage that I masturbated, that book is total flick bait."

Clickbait Jockey

Radio show presenters/hosts who do not achieve their status by merit or talent but by their ability to divide opinion and create social media mountains out of molehills. They are also prepared to endorse conversational topics which would, in regular discussion, send a glass-eye to sleep. Naturally, they think twitter is a reflection of the zeitgeist.

"Welcome to the show. Today's topic, is Donald Trump really an introvert? Call in now on..."

"Ugh! Turn that sh*t off; bloody clickbait jockey"
