LOL!
Wellllllllll, I meant it as in "bated breath".
Here's what I found at www.yourdictionary.com
'Usage Note: The word baited is sometimes incorrectly substituted for the etymologically correct but unfamiliar word bated ("abated; suspended") in the expression bated breath.'
Anyway, no pun intended.
Have a good Sunday evening.

They'll soon learn the joys of both awakening together in the mornings suffering from mutual "bate" breath!
