When someone "accidentally" texts someone or messages them on social media, but has a plan to work on them to get in their pants.
I butt dialed her to see if she would end up taking the DM bait. She responded and we started talking about what she wants in a man and then I played the game and she gave it up to me and took the bait.

Get the Taking the DM Baitmug. A tactic used to deliberately provoke fear in a specific person or group, just to get a reaction. Similar to rage baiting, which seeks to spark anger, fear baiting is about triggering anxiety, panic, or unease on purpose. It's typically personal or situational, rather than widespread like fear mongering. The term is most often used among friends in a joking way, though it can also describe moments where fear is pushed a little too far.
The term was coined by Twi Shorts to describe AyoDen's playful attempts to spook or freak others out.
