Moriarty 

A cute, suited man with a thick Irish accent. He seems quite friendly and innocent at first, but he has a lot more to his past...

Hym "Ok, unlike Megyn Kelly, I have journalistic integrity so I'd like to take the time to officially retract my statements about Erin Moriarty's plastic surgery! She did HAVE any plastic surgery! Looked like cheek and lip filler to me anyway! Still against plastic surgery. Still a bad photo. Megyn Kelly a lying whore. Umm... Me bad? I don't know but the crisis has been averted. Erin Moriarty is fine."

moriarty baiting 

When you write a show, and you can't excite your audience with nothing but empty promises of a long-dead villain appearing over and over again in every situation you can put him into without saying he's alive or dead. You're trying to keep your audience, but you'll never gonna bring him back, while basically basing your whole show on the fact that he MIGHT be back. It's bad writing and it makes people sad.
"Did you see the new season of Sherlock? Is Jim really alive?"
"Nah, it was a total moriarty baiting the whole time... there's Sherlock's evil sister instead."

"what"
