Bait used to be believable

A memetic term used to describe how much rage bait (and trolling in general) has declined in the past decade, becoming so obvious and low-effort that you'd have to be mighty stupid to fall for it.

compliment baiting

Not to be confused with compliment fishing, compliment baiting is the act of talking about oneself or their achievements, then pausing to wait for someone else to chime in to compliment them.

“when logan was telling his story he paused after he said he beat the guy talking shit to him during his match, he’s compliment baiting”

unicorn bait

A couple who are both so hot it's as-if they're baiting you into unicorning for them (being their third in a threesome)

Did you see Tessa Thompson in that movie with Chris Hemsworth? The two of them together are real unicorn bait if you ask me.
