Browser Baiting

Browser Baiting is when you do internet searches for strange and odd things that you do not want just to trick the browser int displaying ads for those things.

I did a bunch of browser baiting last night. Looked for "eel shoes", "rubber volcanos" and "plastic pants". Getting some seriously odd stuff today.

Fic Baiting (v)

When an author intentionally acts like their work is complete until the bottom of the last page, baiting interested readers and inflating their fic stats to further the illusion.

An author I really like just started fic baiting (v) all their recent works and now I don't think I can trust them anymore because nothing they've actually written is finished despite the tags.

Cougar Bait

1: A young individual, typically male, considered in his prime, whom will intentionally seek out locations highly frequently by older women, in hope to get swiped up by a carnivorous cougar, with a craving for fresh meat.

Tldr: Milf hunters. Boy Bimbos, Himbos in fact.
(See Milf, or Himbo...)

At a work holiday party:
Person one: "ANON is totally Cougar Bait. Just look at him over there!"
Person two: "I know, no shame at all!"
Anon who is currently having the time of his life: "Oh damn Sharlene, that must be so hard having to be a housewife, and taking care of 4 teenagers while your husband is out drinking with his friends, you should totally get a divorce-"
