A trap is a form of underhanded attack catch intended targets off-guard, granting the trapper the initiative and advantage over his opponent. Traps can either be; devices designed to strike opponents unexpectedly like pitfalls and landmines, cunning tactics like ambushes and assassinations, or fighting moves like riposte or feinting.

A trap can either be a devilishly evil contraption that the GM placed into a campaign to trick the players or to somehow outsmart them (and hopefully kill them later) or a piss poor trick that a lobotomized retard could see right through.

A rather badass type of trap is a bear trap, a pair of spring loaded mechanical jaws.

In DnD

Traps are a staple in Dungeons & Dragons. They can take the form of anything from a spring loaded blade on a door, a pit full of spikes covered up by a net, an illusory wall or many others. It is generally used to screw with the players. The rogue in 3.5 and down is, pretty much, the only class that can deal with them, while in 4e anyone can effectively if they choose to work on that skill.

IRL

Traps have become a widespread term used in places like /a/, /b/, /cm/, /d/, and /h/ to describe underage ( You're underage. ) males who, for all intents and purposes, dress and act like the opposite gender, and outwardly appear to be a cute loli. /tg/ is not the place for this, go back to the other boards noted above (Unless it happens to be Daemonette action).

The term trap is also often applied to transgendered people (although usually aimed towards men who look like women).
