Grease Trap

Refers to an individual, often toxic or narcissistic, who cunningly presents themselves as the ideal partner or friend, attempting to lure others into a relationship that proves difficult to escape. Much like a literal grease trap in plumbing that captures and retains undesirable substances, this person uses deceit and manipulation to ensnare others emotionally or romantically.

The term emphasizes the slippery and challenging nature of disentangling oneself from the relationship once entrapped. It serves as a cautionary metaphor for individuals who feign positivity and charm while concealing ulterior motives. Identifying a "grease trap" involves recognizing red flags early on to avoid being ensnared in a relationship that may prove detrimental in the long run.
