Jebaited

What does Jebaited mean?

Jebaited is a Twitch emote used when someone falls for a bait, fake-out, or troll. Chat posts it after a streamer looks behind them because a donation claimed someone was there, clicks a fake loot crate, or otherwise takes an obvious trick at face value. The grinning, upward glance is the visual punchline: you got got.

Origin

The emote features Alex Jebailey, founder of the fighting-game tournament Community Effort Orlando (CEO). The photo comes from CEO 2016, where he was filmed looking up at a match on the big screen. Twitch added Jebaited as a global emote in September 2016. The name is a play on Jebailey plus "baited."

When to use Jebaited

• When a streamer falls for a fake donation, TTS troll, or "look behind you" bit
• After an obvious in-game bait, feint, or dummy that someone still fell for
• When chat collectively sets a trap and the streamer walks into it
• Ironically, when you yourself almost fell for something dumb
