lol... I'd rather not... but that is only because some know where the word came from.

The phrase "Hoist with his own petard" comes from the young "Engineers"/soldiers tasked with breaching a castle door by rigging a bell shape charge, and sometimes getting tangled in the rigging.

Some mistake it as a wonderful title like Dr. or Mayor... others it is a job function like plumbing.

Yet very little has changed people wise in modern technology, and regulatory capture is rather popular. Strangely, these same places often also still charge money for bathroom access.

Engineer, Journeyman, Entrepreneur, and Tinkerer are all often still class specific pejoratives in some circles.

"Hoist upon his own petard" is from Shakespeare and refers to the eructation of flatulence so violent it lifts one from their chair.
