Sniperbait 

Any member in a collection of two or more people who is loud, annoying, large in stature (fat, heavy-set, morbidly obese), or far more expendable than any of the of members of the aforementioned group. Somebody who could be unquestioningly and unhesitatingly sacrificed.

As the group laughed at one another's jokes, one laugh rose above the rest in an obnoxious fashion, instantly pissing everyone off. Dirty looks were given, and as the reputable members of the group looked at each other, they could see the truth in their eyes. He was undoubtedly the designated sniperbait.

Shipbaiting 

When the author of a work places characters in potentially romantic situations with the intent of teasing of the audience. Nothing ever comes of these situations.

shipbaiting 

A term often used to describe two characters in a movie, TV series, books etc. who have great chemistry and are often put together in scenes and share 'intimate moments' (like giving each other heart eyes, hugging, hands touching...) but writers have no real intention to make them a couple. Like ever.

" Have you seen The 100? I am currently on season 1 and it seems like a great TV show. Can't wait until Bellamy and Clarke become a thing."
" Don't bother, showrunners don't intend of making them a couple, they are only shipbaiting the fans."
"But they have so much chemistry!"
"Tell that to the showrunners."
