moriarty baiting

When you write a show, and you can't excite your audience with nothing but empty promises of a long-dead villain appearing over and over again in every situation you can put him into without saying he's alive or dead. You're trying to keep your audience, but you'll never gonna bring him back, while basically basing your whole show on the fact that he MIGHT be back. It's bad writing and it makes people sad.

"Did you see the new season of Sherlock? Is Jim really alive?"
"Nah, it was a total moriarty baiting the whole time... there's Sherlock's evil sister instead."

Lesbian Baiting

When a straight girl acts like she’s interested in another girl just so she can come out to her.

Lesbian girl: I came out to Amelia because I thought she was interested in me, then she ditched me
Friend: What gave you the indication that she was a lesbian?
Lesbian girl: She kept flirting with me.
Friend: She was lesbian baiting you

Tag Baiting

When using a social media platform in which hashtags sort posts, such as Instagram, a person adds hashtags that are unrelated. Often for the sake of reaching a wider audience.
This in consequence renders the hashtag sorting system useless.

“Stop Tag baiting, this post is about how to change a tire, why did I find it in #cooking?”

Dick Bait

Dick bait is like click bait but persuades people to click on it with promises of seeing pictures of Dick Van Dyke, only to be met with the sad, lonely face of Sarah Jessica Parker.

"I just got tricked by some serious dick bait, man."
"Oh, really? Were they long and black or thick and Polynesian?"
"Dude, Dick Van Dyke is white. Show some goddamn respect."

butcher-bait

Someone that is so obnoxious they convince you that their sole purpose is to test your morality.

Steven: What the fuck is that shitwad babbling about over there?

Sean: He was talking about how much of a shame it was that Bush couldn't run for a third term.

Steven: That asshat is butcher-bait for sure.
