bait chick

when you are in a slump with girls you start dating a couple that you are not interested in. because whenever you are dating one more come around. Its like fishing, you don't eat the worm on your hook do you?

yeah I went on another date with that girl again, she is annoying but she makes a good bait chick.

click bait

An eyecatching link on a website which encourages people to read on. It is often paid for by the advertiser ("Paid" click bait) or generates income based on the number of clicks.

This is not news, really. It’s click bait, the stuff pageviews are made of.

OR

This is the worst article I've ever read, clearly from a massive Microsoft hater or paid by Apple/Google. It's just paid FUD clickbait, wouldn't expect any better of news.com.au. Source: Whirlpool Forum 21 Oct 2012.

click bait

A title or preview for a website, video, or other form of media that is misleading. It either doesn't have anything to do with the media or is providing false information.

An example of click bait is a title that says "Make hundreds of dollars easy!" but then links to an article promoting a window washing company. Or, a video title like "New gameplay of GAME!" with no actual gameplay in the video.

In a Sentence:
The website said that this article would tell me how to make a lot of money but it was just promoting a company, such a clickbait title.
