sarcasm bait

a sarcastic statement used as a test of sarcasm and/or affiliation. Used slyly, the person making the statement uses it to gain knowledge of a person's political, religious, sexual, or hobbyist interests by appearing to be on the side of the person they're talking to.

Alan: "Our Exxon Valdez rig doesn't need no stinking EPA regulations."

(ObLIvious) MIke: Yeah, money-grubbing EPA.
(Keen) Jerry: True, but that was sarcasm bait.

Alan: You're an asshole, Jerry, for saying that there should be no environmental regulation.

bait drop

When a DJ builds up to a bass drop with a popular well known track, only to switch song on the drop.

Can be executed well and to the enjoyment of a crowd however mostly this tactic is used to hype up a crowd for a bad song or to promote their own track that people would otherwise not dance to.

That was such a bait drop

The bait dropping ruined the set

het-bait

A sarcastic term originating from yuri-bait. The word would initially suggest that it's a pair of characters that give a surface impression of being straight from their interactions with one another, but actually aren't. However because people perceive any character in the media as straight until proven otherwise, which is usually correct, this term is mostly just used to make fun of presumed straightness by using an analogous word to yuri-bait which is pretty common.

Those two characters seem to like one another. Are they actually gonna be straight or is that just another het-bait?

I bet those two characters that are together on the poster will be just another het-bait!
