Jebaited
Jebaited means you got tricked, baited, or played into taking the obvious wrong move. It shows up as a callout when someone falls for a setup in a game, chat, clip, or prank. The word usually carries a smug, laughing tone, like the speaker is enjoying the fact that the other person took the bait.
When people say jebaited, they are basically calling out a clean troll moment. It is most common in gaming and meme-heavy spaces, where someone falls for a fake out, a trap, or a too-obvious lure and everyone else reacts like, yep, you walked right into it.

What People Mean When They Say Jebaited
Jebaited is the internet version of saying someone got baited hard. It usually points to a setup that looked real for a second, then turned into a trap, prank, or flex on the person who believed it.
The term has a built-in mockery to it. If you say it, you are not just naming the trick - you are also laughing at the fact that the other person took the bait and made it easy.
Where You'll See Jebaited
You will mostly see it in gaming chats, livestream comments, Discord servers, and clip reactions. It fits moments where someone rushes, clicks, replies, or chases something that was obviously designed to catch them.
It can also work in a joking group chat when a friend falls for a fake invite, a fake spoiler, or a dumb setup. Outside those spaces, it can sound a little try-hard because the word is tied to streamer and meme culture.
Examples You'd Actually See

Fits the Moment vs. Forced

Sounds forced: My boss asked for the report, so I got jebaited at work.
Where Jebaited Stands Now

Related slang around this usage includes 1-10-scale and 100-run.
