"The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it's so common these days
to see it written as baited breath that there's every chance it will soon
become the usual form, to the disgust of conservative speakers and the
confusion of dictionary writers. Examples in newspapers and magazines are
legion; this one appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 April 2003: "She hasn't
responded yet but Michael is waiting with baited breath".
It's easy to mock, but there's a real problem here. Bated and baited sound
the same and we no longer use bated (let alone the verb to bate), outside
this one set phrase, which has become an idiom. Confusion is almost
inevitable. Bated here is a contraction of abated through loss of the first
vowel (a process called aphesis); it has the meaning "reduced, lessened,
lowered in force". So bated breath refers to a state in which you almost
stop breathing through terror, awe, extreme anticipation, or anxiety."
...... Or, through the consumption of strange, Annelid creatures must
commonly used for bait. How's that Steve?
The quote actually had Michael in it. I didn't even have to insert myself.

To say nothing of persons of the fisherpersuasion.

Glen, you sure it wasn't a word mait, could have been a colloquialism
might? Or just a bonzer thought?
Might(mate) have even been secret code to me since I have lot's of
"t's in my name.
