Trigger is either an action or an object. It may refer to two things:
(1) An object in a firearm, commonly referred to as “the trigger”, that, when pressure is applied to it, causes the firearm to discharged, by means of a mechanism.
(2) An act or event that causes a reaction of some sort.
HOWEVER.
Trigger is NOT a word that can describe a negative reaction to a piece of literature, an opinion, a fact, or an opposing statement. The correct word for that is “overreacting”, or a combination of words, such as “an overly sensitive person who doesn’t like to hear opposing options”.
Don’t like it? Too bad. The word “trigger”, alongside many other words, is not yours to be manipulated.

An object that has had a lot of parts replaced or repaired; it’s in reference to a scene from the 1996 episode sitcom Only Fools and Horses, Heroes and Villains, where the character Trigger talks about how when he worked as Road sweeper he used the same broom for 20 years, and how it has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles
