facebait

A party, event or gathering known or designed to attract celeb-watchers whose sole desire is to be snapped by the paparazzi in close proximity to their favourite D-lister in the vain hope that their face appears in the corner of a photo in the next edition of Heat magazine.

China White at closing time, Leicester Square on new-release night, the BAFTAs etc. are all examples of facebait events containing the necessary ingredients of: d-list celebs, paparazzi and excitable and hormonally imbalanced fans.

facebaiter

A Facebooker who only ever comments on posts with the intention of calling into question the tastes or opinions of the original poster. Posts deliberately belittling or snide comments only likely to cause the originator offense or to reply in a defensive manner, provoking a 'Facespat'.

A worthy and heartfelt post on German athletes rainbow coloured uniforms for the Olympics to be held in anti-gay Russia:

Facebaiter Reply - 'Hardly Rainbow Coloured'
Supplementary Facebaiter reply: 'Newsflash: German makes yellow, green and blue duffel coat of Winter Olypmics'

FaceBaiting

FaceBaiting - where you constantly invite a person to be a friend on FaceBook when you KNOW their circumstance demands they can't accept...

I knew he was gay and in the closet and accepting my friend request would tip off his overly inquisitive and (rightfully so) insecure-about-his-sexuality girlfriend, but I kept FaceBaiting him anyway figuring when he'd finally accepted who he was, he'd simultaneously accept me as a "friend"

Facebaiting

The act of posting a status that is directed at a specific person(s) in a passive agressive attempt to hurt, humiliate or anger them; done in such a manner that everyone knows who you are insinuating.

i.e.: I would hate to have a sister who throws herself at every guy she meets.

Evelyn is Facebaiting Eva about her drunk dancing last night. I wonder if she has seen it yet?

Fakebait

A person who posts suggestive pictures of themself to get attention but then gets offended by "perverted" comments and further more claims to only post those pictures without any background thoughts.

Fakebait Girl: posts pictures or selfies of a starbucks coffe in her hand while showing also her cleavage directly to the camera: "hey guys, the best cofee in new york"

Commentor: mhhh nice boobies

Girl: Get lost perv, im blocking you!!!!

The example can also work with feet , cameltoe , bulge or any other sexual atracting body part.

Fakebait

Clickbait that acknowledges that it is clickbait. The acknowledgment is usually un-ironic and, at times, cringey.

'HOW TO CLICKBAIT NOT A SCAM'
"Man, that has to be the worst fakebait ever."
"Yeah, but now I gotta know."
