I didn't know what petard meant.
hoist with one's own petard
Fig. to be harmed or disadvantaged by an action of one's own which was meant to harm someone else. (From a line in Shakespeare's Hamlet.)
It's worth making a mistake to be able to post that phrase, Dostaf. Shall we take it you missed the 'a' out accidentally-on-purpose?
