A form of baiting focused purely on triggering an emotional reaction in someone—anger, frustration, sadness, outrage—for the satisfaction of seeing them react. Reactbait doesn't necessarily seek to win arguments, change minds, or achieve practical outcomes; it seeks the visceral pleasure of watching someone lose control. The reactbaiter pokes, prods, and provokes until the target responds emotionally, then feeds on that response. It's the digital equivalent of poking a caged animal with a stick—the reaction is the point, the entertainment, the reward. Reactbait is especially common in anonymous online spaces where empathy is low and cruelty is fun.
Example: "He posted inflammatory comments not because he believed them but because he wanted to see people get angry. And they did—outraged replies, frustrated arguments, emotional venting. Reactbait had worked: he'd gotten the reactions he wanted, and he moved on, satisfied, to the next target. The anger he'd provoked wasn't his problem; it was his entertainment."

Racebaiting

A view-grabbing tactic and manipulative move that many popular news networks (such as CNN) thrive off nowadays due to the dying off television and the uprising of everything going digital. It is the use of one-sided story-telling from movements like #blm and feminism that display them crying over racism in which happens to be untrue, and there was no racism whatsoever, but social justice warriors use it like any other word so casually. But they won't tell you that, and because many people are too lazy to research nowadays, many people are lead to believe these false claims be true. Which brew up anger and cause race wars.
Guy 1: "I hate how all these news channels keep racebaiting. It's so fucked up."

Guy 2 (in response): "I know right? This honestly needs to stop."

Racebait 

When a non-white person uses their own race to call out other races(99.99999% of the time white people), of supposed racism or "appropriation", in order to get validation and further a narcissistic agenda.
A narcissist Native American man wakes up one day and decides that he wants to racebait. In a crowded place, a Native American man comes up to a bunch of random ass white people that they've never met and starts bullying them about how they "stole their land" and that they should go back to Europe. The braindead democratic crowd surrounds them and starts shouting at them and bullying at them along with the Native American man.

First of all, Native Americans came from Asia. Second, if you truly hate white people then you might as well hate every other race because that is who is living on "your land" right now.

Third, why is everybody so obsessed with land? In what way does land correlate to your self-worth or innocence? If you feel so connected to a piece of fucking dirt then you might as well take back Africa because that is where you all came from.

STOP BEING A NARCISSISTIC CUNT. YOU KNOW YOU DON'T GIVE A FUCK. WORTHLESS SHITCUNT.

Bruce: Oi Cuz, did you see that Jimmy just blew up on youtube?

Angus: Nah man, he's just got a reaction channel. He figured out that doing "reactions" to reactabait will get him short term subscriber growth. He's just being a knob and is taking advantage of artists with cult followings. He'll give up soon when he realises they're not there for him.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
