When an individual (quite often a man's significant other) asks for something, but when ridiculed about the preposterous nature of the request, they begin to claim they were joking about it. Whereas if you had said you were willing to fulfil the request, they would have happily one through with it.
"Jamie can I have that £3000 ring from that jewellery shop?"
"Sophie are you out of your mind? No I can't afford it!"
"I was only joking!"
"No you were ground-baiting."
"Sophie are you out of your mind? No I can't afford it!"
"I was only joking!"

A tactic used by lonely social media trolls to lure victims into their comments only for their own amusement. This is done by posting pejorative comments, random arguments, and offensive statements to rile up those they are clearly trying to offend enough to pay attention to them. This is so that they can spend their time trolling you in the comments section and tagging you on every opinion they have on the subject and why they are correct.
Facebook Example
Absolutely Nobody:
Baiter Comments: Trump is a genius and only idiots who don't understand politics would disagree with the way he ran this country.
Bait: I disagree and here is why... Etc.

I want to comment, but it's clear this guy is just baiting people in the comments to get a rise or response from the people who don't share his opinion. Probably best to just ignore it and move on with our lives.
