"WHAT DOES JEBAITED MEAN – ORIGINS AND USAGE OF THE JEBAITED EMOTE
Jebaited is Twitch emoticon featuring Alex Jebailey, owner of CEO Gaming, and used to describe the act of baiting an opponent in a video game.
Since its inception the jebaited definition has somewhat evolved to encompass any situation when somebody gets baited into doing something. While still extremely popular on Twitch, it has also found its place in video complications of funny moments and fails. It’s of those die-hard memes that you keep seeing occasionally."
