The term “The Trap” aka The Ghetto aka The Hood had to have been first used by some plumber. A trap is a uniquely shaped pipe used under most household sinks that retains a small amount of water, which creates a seal that keeps the foul smelling sewage gas from the drain pipe from coming back out into open space. If you think about it, we use the term “The Trap” to refer to the hood, where crime is rampant and a place where society wants to keep the people living there from coming out into the suburbs. So I personally think it is strange that rappers glorify the trap because it is a governmental system that is put in place to repress the people living in poverty even further from better living standards and opportunities.

A male character in anime that looks like a girl, but is not intended by the writers to be a trap character.
This typically occurs when a male character is designed to be adrogenous with signature girl eyelashes. If you already know they are a guy, it can often be hard to tell how others thought they were a girl, but this is not always the case.

Dennis: “I can’t believe Kyousuke from Mieruko-chan was a pseudo-trap!”
Albert: “Yeah, he fooled me too, just like Miki from I Can’t Understand What My Husband Is Saying!”

When a person trolls or otherwise provokes another person on purpose to get them agitated, just so that they can bully them even more over the fact that the other person got agitated in the first place.
Similar to trolling, but somewhat different as it's often used by players of online games to bait one another into i.e. a ban from a server by reporting the reaction to moderators, a very common tactic in toxic online gaming communities, specifically in aggressive-type survival and FPS games.
Trap bullying is weaponized rhetoric used especially against those who might be easily provoked (such as those with autism, Asperger's Syndrome etc.)
