A "Poison Pawn" is a pawn that often seems like any other pawn left open to capture for free, but when captured, causes problems for the player who captured it. Quite often "Poison Pawns" are left as bait.
Example 1: He captured what he thought was a free pawn, but it was a "Poison Pawn". In doing so, he left his King open and was checkmated.
Example 2: He captured the pawn on square e5 with his Knight, but doing so his left his Queen open to be taken by a Bishop.(A much less valuable piece.)
He took "The Bait"

A chess strategy in which one player attempts to take all of the opposing player's pawns, no matter the costs of his own pieces. This is a fun strategy for toying with a lesser opponent and has the added benefit of annoying the lesser opponent greatly.

A scumbag, the literal slave of life, the bitch of the universe... used by the government and manipulated into being a little whore of humanity. You have to embrace being a POH, because we all are...
You're a Pawn of Humanity

Any individual who "Hangs Around" a pawn shop solely for entertainment purposes and believes they are equally entertaining. Can also be an individual that frequents pawn shops so that they may dazzle everyone with their vast knowledge of all things from tools to tiaras. They are always wrong about everything.
