cropbait 

A type of clickbait used on social media sites such as Facebook where the user is presented with a cropped image designed to entice the user to click on it to see the full image. The manner of presentation implies that the full image may be seen by clicking on the post, when in actuality the image shown is the full image and was intentionally cropped to entice the reader to click through. It might, for instance, appear to have "before" and "after" images where most of the "after" is cropped out, or have a screencap of someone's post about how they got revenge on their HOA that's cropped to cut off the rest of the story just as it's getting interesting. Clicking through will take the user to a website article with a title like "30 Ways Businesses Cleverly Gave Difficult Customers What They Deserved" that is loaded with banner and sidebar ads. The user may be required to scroll or click through many stories before finding the one from the original cropped image (if it's present at all, which it might not be).
That Facebook post about a neighbor's dog may look interesting, but it's cropbait and isn't worth your time to find out what happens next.

Crowbait 

A small ship wreck.
Person 1: Hey did you hear about the crowbait in the Gulf?

Person 2: No man, was it bad?

Person 1: It wasn't a mass crowbation, so not a lot of people died. Still sad though.

Person 2: Yeah.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
