Swaptronics

When repairing an electronic device, instead of finding and replacing the defective component, the entire circuit board or module is replaced.
Customer: Why are you charging me $170 to repair my CD player which just has a burnt resistor which costs 20 cents?

Repairman: Due to our incompetence we just replaced the whole circuit board inside and passed the cost onto you the customer.

Customer: Oh, you are a swaptronics outfit. You suck. Here's $170.

Snaptrap 

n., v.

When one sends a Snapchat photo to someone that they have recently contacted through text, Facebook message, twitter DM, etc. but not received a reply, with the intention of seeing if the receiver is in fact, ignoring or avoiding them as any snaps sent have a status indicator of whether the person has received or opened the aforementioned snap. If the snap was opened, the sender knows s/he is on his phone, fully capable of replying.

This can also be done to see if the person is actively on their phone BEFORE contacting them through text, Facebook etc.

This simple tactic is usually used by smart(crazy) girlfriends who are concerned about their boyfriends whereabouts or what he is doing and want to trap him with a snapchat, invalidating any excuse such as "my phone died, my phone was off, I wasn't using my phone" etc.
I told my girlfriend I was busy and couldn't use my phone but i really was at home with the side bitch. She texted me 3 times anyway to which i didn't reply then she sent me a Snaptrap. I opened it by accident and she immediately called me and asked what I was really doing.
