In a game of Halo 2 or 3 when in a situation of two on one where players A and B are on the same team and X is on the opposing team. Player A engages in a fire fight with the opponent (player X) lowering their shields substantially and in the process losing most or all of their shields. Before player A is killed he retreats into a room or cover and player B emerges a half moment later. Player X believes that he is being faced with the same enemy and moving in for the kill. In reality he is at a disadvantage and is killed by the fully shielded player B.
I thought that guy was either being really brave or really stupid, charging back out after i had his shields flashing....turns out it was a different guy. I got bait and switched.

Scientology with less religion, defined by the economic advantage of conning in a customer (or oftenly 'sucker') by teasing them in with a deal or other great benefit but then as they are about to pay the deal are told that the original product is not available but that a substitute is. They then employ the people to then buy a more expensive item. The original product is never revealed to the person, it is an easy economic trick
In bait and switch, a thetan is a sucker and tom cruise is the guy on the billboard with shiny teeth

When a designated driver says he will bring every one home from the bar, and then precedes to drink himself into a vomiting stupor. So that it is obvious he is the only one who can't drive.
I told my uncle's to come to the bar with me, and that I would bring them home. I then did 4 car bombs, 2 shots of vodka, 6 beers, and 2 martini's. My uncle's claimed I pulled a bait and switch on them.

To start flirting and spending more time with a boy or girl just to get to know that person's friends more. Then, going out with one of that person's friends instead of the person him/herself.
I though John was really into me, but he just used me to hook up with my friend Kara. John just pulled the old Bait and Switch on me.

When you know a person of the opposite gender who is a catch, but you want to do a buddy a solid, and arrange to meet said person only to "randomly" find your buddy at the same place, and quickly leave after feigning an emergency.
Stephanie is such a catch, but I'm already in a relationship. She'd be perfect for Paul though. I think I'll call her up for drinks and then bait and switch her.
