Something that is said for the sole purpose of setting someone off. The person then deflates and de-escalates the situation by that what was said was trigger bait.

A word used by Weeaboos to directly attack the character and integrity of any poster which holds any opposing valid opinion they don't agree with. It is often used in response to any anti-anime or Anti-Japanese culture post in substitution of actual argument or debate, in order to discourage further posts from that user.

You're done playing a great story-driven game, such as Outer Wilds, Subnautica or Omori and you want more... but the game has zero replay value. You already played it twice and know the story by heart. You get withdrawal. You're on Youtube looking at let's-plays to try to fill a hole like you're some kind of vampire feeding on other people's first experience with the game. You eventually run out of playthrough videos, so now you have to bait everyone you know into playing the game to feed your addiction.

An almost theatrical form of relational sabotage, Bicker Baiting is the cunning yet questionable practice of strategically deploying words or actions, either consciously or subconsciously, to ensnare someone into an argument. This technique often emerges following a misleading stretch of harmony. It represents the paradoxical pursuit of conflict after periods of calm, embodying a twisted longing for the familiar dissonance of everyday squabbles rather than the alien stillness of harmony.
Was a peaceful Sunday until my partner hit me with a bicker baiting bombshell, asking why I still follow my ex on social media. Went from zero to a hundred real quick over a 'like' from 2017.
