A two-part term describing manipulative tactics centered on guilt. First: baiting designed to make someone feel guilty—for their opinions, their actions, their existence—often by framing them as morally deficient, harmful, or complicit in injustice. Second (and more insidious): the practice of approaching someone for an interview or conversation with the predetermined goal of exposing them, getting them banned, or publicly shaming them. The interviewer already considers them guilty; the "conversation" is just evidence collection. The target is baited into speaking, then destroyed with their own words, taken out of context, amplified, weaponized. It's not dialogue—it's a trap with ethical pretensions.
"A stranger messaged me asking 'genuinely curious, can you explain your views?' I explained. Next day, screenshots everywhere with 'Look at this horrible person.' Guiltbait: they never wanted to understand—they wanted to collect. The curiosity was a trap, the conversation was evidence, and I walked right in."

We went to a concert last weekend. There were girls in front of me hitting the “no tip” button on the register.
I felt bad… ended up tipping 18% on those 15 dollar beers. Guiltuity sucks, but people who dont tip suck even more.

güntbait 

One of two things.

1.) Güntbait can be that which baits Günther. This is to say something that seduces him into peeking out from hiding (or from his general cave dwelling); OR something that tricks him into leaving himself vulnerable (ie: for a trap). Güntbait in this regard usually constitutes a pair of unshaven armpits, Shrek-themed chapstick, or a (mayo only) hoagie, to name a few. Anything that really moistens his brow and gets the flood gates running.

2.) Güntbait can also refer to a highly sexual/errotic process carried out during the blood moon. When spring has died and autumn has not yet been born -- Güntbait can refer to the act of creaming your womb-broom (from base to shaft of course -- we're not amateurs here at the urban dictionary) with Best Foods "Real" mayonnaise until there is a foot high layer with no flesh in sight. Then the Güntbaiter would put the obligatory bread halves under this hulking cream-stick, and masturbate it all off until the bread is mayo-filled. Cum is recommended; as it can fall on to the bread for garnish. The Güntbaiter then may eat the sandwich below to finish the deed and adjourn the ceremony.
*Sidenote: Güntbaiting can only occur if candles are lit, petals are scattered, and the baiter in question has a mustache as bristly as it is glorious.
1.) "Amigo! That Nicolas Cage action figure is such Güntbait! I think I can see that puta peeking out from his lair right now!"

2.) "Guys, it's the blood moon and Brian has been in his room for hours! ...Do you think he's guntbaiting?"
"Are you kidding? Have you seen the guy's mustache? Hate to break it to ya but he's been Güntbaiting for months, cupcake!"

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
