Phrase | trap door |
Text | In this podcast, a "trap door" is a hidden door in the floor, usually underneath a rug, that allows someone to leave a room quickly without being seen: "Lorraine hid a box of secret love letters under a trap door in the attic floor." A "tourist trap" is an expensive place where many tourists go to, but that doesn't offer very much real value: "That market is such a tourist trap, selling poor quality things at high prices!" A "speed trap" is a place on a road where police officers wait for speeding cars so that they can give the drivers a ticket: "Make sure you slow down around this bend, because there's a speed trap there." Finally, a "death trap" is a car that is in very poor condition and is dangerous to drive: "Did you really drive across the country in that death trap?" |
