Jebaited Definition
“Jebaited” means somebody has been manipulated or tricked in a game. This internet slang term is primarily used while gaming, especially during Twitch livestreams. Jebaited can be used as a verb to describe what someone’s done or a noun to describe someone. All in all, the term is used light-heartedly to say that someone’s been fooled, trolled, or baited during play. Here are some ways “jebaited” may be used in a sentence: My viewers like to jebait me. Don’t listen to them. Are you jebaiting me? Guys, I think he’s trying to pull a fast one. This one gives off jebaiter vibes. I don’t like it. I’ve been jebaited! I repeat, I’ve been jebaited! The treasure isn’t in the castle! Many Twitch users have Custom Emotes to relate jebaited feelings. Emotes are visual graphics (think of them as animated emojis) that users can use if they’re subscribed to a channel.
When & How to Use Jebaited
When watching a live stream: If you’re watching your favorite streamer play a game and notice something sketchy is up with their teammates, spam the chat with jebaited emotes or the words “jebaiter” or “jebating.” This can grab the streamer’s attention, so they hopefully won’t get fooled and lose the game. JEBAITER! Bro, they’re playing you! Mark is totally jebaiting Zoe. It’s so obvious.
When you're pretending to be weak: In gaming, sometimes the best strategy is to come across as the underdog, even when you’re the strongest. Use “jebaited” when you reveal your true strength and win the game. You’ve been jebaited! I’ve had you fooled this whole time! BOOM! I win! You were just jebaited!
When giving false information intentionally: Describe yourself (or someone else) as a “jebaiter” if you’re spewing lies. This can be an excellent strategy in adventure quests, especially if you want to confuse your enemies be the first to finish. What can I say? I’m a jebaiter, and you fell for my lies. I’m not a liar. I’m just a jebaiter.
