Biles:It's not my fic. It was given to me...Hoist by my petard!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ always wondered what this means... I know Kuno says it but....
A petard was one of these bomb-like things that they used a long time ago (around Sheakspeare times) to blow open the castle doors... And when the guy who lit the bomb thingy, after sticking it to the door, got caught in the blast, he was 'hoist by his own petard'... So, it means to get undone by something you set up, yourself. ^_^ Kun-chan...
