Why is the expression past history incorrect

1. Waiting with baited breath

Bait is what you use to hook fish, so if you're waiting with baited breath, you're likely to smell of worms ... and that's no way to start off a new year. What you want to say is "bated breath," which comes from the word "abate," meaning to reduce or diminish. Thus, if you're waiting with bated breath, you're so nervous/excited you can hardly breathe.
