A thumbnail for a video or article that might sexually arouse you, or make you horny.
That video has boobs in the thumbnail. Definite hornybait.

Hornybait is a way to make people click on a video because of the first frame where it seems like the video is NSFW, and when a person actually clicks on the video either a) they get jumpscared, b) they get called "horny", or c) something else happens (example a Dorime). This can be genuinely fucking annoying, because the people who do it are unfunny as hell and they won't stop doing it. So, imagine you wanna catch a horny-baiter. So this is what you do:
1) See if the video starts with something rather sexual, or with a weird anime face.
2) Look at the video title, because it matters as well. If the video is called example, "Anime_face.mp4" then it sure is
a horny bait.
3) Look at the caption the person sent it as. If it's something like "Don't click on the video!!" then don't fucking click on it.
Dude I fucking HATE Hornybaiters dude! they're so annoying and you can't get rid of them.
