Tesla Trap

To care more about people recognizing you than the invention.

"Don't they see! I've invented wireless energy!"

"But it can't be metered; that means nobody can make money."

"But It's beyond ACDC! Why won't anyone .."

Dude, he went insane, fell into the Tesla Trap.

Trap One

As above, trap one, trap two etc. is a method of labelling individual toilet stalls in a row of lavatory cubicles by analogy with racing traps in a greyhound track. Numbering must follow the racing example so looking from the front, the rightmost cubicle is trap one, the one to the left of it is trap two etc so that the numbers read left to right for the 'racers'.

'was that you in trap one this morning? I thought someone had opened fire with a machine gun'

elephant trap

A trap in reasoning or an argument, which a sensible person wouldn't fall into. There are a lot of interview questions like this that you might need to cunningly sidestep. Keep your wits about you!

Manager: I asked the usual interview questions with the standard elephant traps but they fell into each of them.
Colleague: Oh, no. Sigh.

Thirst trap

(n.) social media post with the intention of eliciting a response from potential suitors by hinting sexual content. For the trap to be complete, some poor soul must fall victim and masturbate to such content.

- "Did you see the thirst trap on her IG story?"
- "Dude she's barely showing anything"
- "Got me horny tho"

Flower Trap

When a heterosexual man matches with a transgender woman on a dating app, leading to them hooking up with each other later on, not knowing the person is trans until it's too late.

"John was making out and fondling with Michelle in his car, but suddenly felt a penis down there."

"No way! Talk about a flower trap!"
