bait

From English ‘bait’– playfully misleading, tricking, deceiving someone. It originated from the communication of computer game users, where it meant luring another player into a trap. The determinant of a good bait lies in its humorous and convincing dimension, while its effect is a surprise, the recipient’s astonishment, and the sender’s amusement.

Examples of usage:

The bait was spot on!  ‘someone was effectively screwed’/heard/.

You have to bait [bejtować] because you are failing non-stop /wykop/pl/.

[The quotations have been translated from the Polish language]
