Light-trapping

A slow driver in front of you who manages to crawl through a yellow light right when it's about to turn red (and even worse, at a railroad crossing), leaving you and the enraged drivers behind you in a huge traffic jam.

I would've made it back home sooner if it wasn't for that slow bastard who kept light-trapping me at nearly every other block.

Hippie Trap

An interesting or unusual object/installation at a burn (or similar gathering) designed to distract, engage, and often inspire wonder in participants for a short/medium amount of time. (Especially relevant when the hippie trap distracts the participant from whatever they were doing and becomes the object of their full attention) Examples include, but are not limited to: interactive play-forms, interesting lights, unusual textures, uniquely decorated spaces, large flow toys, etc.

Have you seen Tanner?
He got caught up at a hippie trap. It may be a while till he wanders back to camp.

Canary Trap

a method for exposing an information leak by giving different versions of a sensitive document to each of several suspects and seeing which version gets leaked.

The government needed to find their employee leaking information to the media so they setup a canary trap by giving each suspected employee a slightly different story.

hobo trap

A device or tactic used by hobos to solicit or obtain handouts from unwitting passers-by. These traps are often designed to take advantage of someone who is in a vulnerable situation, locals or other hobos, which is a direct violation of rule 3 of the hobo ethical code. Traps may occasionally be marked with hobo signs designed to covertly communicate trap effectiveness with other hobos.

I barely escaped that hobo trap back there with my wallet.

Why is there an unopened champagne bottle by that bush? That's a hobo trap.
