Get the Cringe-Baitingmug. by Heiziniamhim December 16, 2015
Get the dyke baitmug. "The push up bra for men": Beard Baiting is a sneaky way small chinned men hide their lack of a chin - by growing a beard over it. Typically done to get more dates. First coined by Australian publication DMARGE, beard baiting is a derivative of 'beard fishing' - which is what the trend used to be known as online.
James is 'beard baiting' again - it might help him get more dates but as soon as he shaves it all off he's going to be screwed.

The process of opening your arms a little bit when you see someone or saying good-byes to bait them into giving you a hug. Usually this is done with the elbows out but hands not all the way spread, so that the hug-baiter is not embarrassed about a rejection.
Big John was hug-baiting me. He just wants to press his body against me.
Chef Ramsey is a perfect hug-baiter. He hugs everyone so he can feel up the hot ones without anyone wondering.
