don't make it bait

Another way of saying "don't be obvious" when you're doing something that you don't want someone to know about.

*Friend 1 leaves his cookies lying around*
Friend 2 to Friend 3: Imma steal some
*Leaves pack in a different position*
Friend 3: Bro don't make it bait

Friend 2: My bad
*Moves it back to make it not bait*
