A trap, pony trap (sometimes pony and trap) or horse trap is a light, often sporty, two-wheeled or sometimes four-wheeled horse- or pony-drawn carriage, usually accommodating two to four persons in various seating arrangements, such as face-to-face or back-to-back.
"Pony and trap" is also used as Cockney rhyming slang for "crap" meaning nonsense or rubbish.
Trap on a press is the ability of a printed ink to accept the next printed ink compared to how well paper accepts that ink. Registration is when all printed images are lined up over one another.
Trapping is a term originally used as a measure of how well one ink printed on top of another. With the advent of Pre-press Software the term was misused to describe the compensation for misregistration between printing units on a multicolor press that was traditionally known as "Chokes and Spreads". This misregistration causes unsightly gaps or white-space on the final printed work. Trapping involves creating overlaps (spreads) or underlaps (chokes) of objects during the print production process to eliminate misregistration on the press.
Background
Misregistration in the graphical workflow may be caused by a number of reasons:
inaccuracies in the image setter,
instability of the image carrier (e.g., stretch in film or plate),
inaccuracy in the film-to-plate or film-to-film copying steps,
instability of the press,
instability of the final media, and
human error.
Slow playing (also called sandbagging or trapping) is deceptive play in poker that is roughly the opposite of bluffing: betting weakly or passively with a strong holding rather than betting aggressively with a weak one. The flat call is one such play. The objective of the passive slow play is to lure opponents into a pot who might fold to a raise, or to cause them to bet more strongly than they would if the player had played aggressively (bet or raised). Slow playing sacrifices protection against hands that may improve and risks losing the pot-building value of a bet if the opponent also checks.
David Sklansky defines the following conditions for profitable slow plays:
A player must have a very strong hand.
The free card or cheap card the player is allowing to his opponents must have good possibilities of making them a second-best hand.
That same free card must have little chance of giving an opponent a better hand or even giving them a draw to a better hand on the next round with sufficient pot odds to justify a call.
