Stitch,

I don't have time to look it up this morning, but I think the expression is actually "hoist on one's own petard". Perhaps I am getting my tenses mixed up, or perhaps the expression is archaic, but I don't ever remember seeing "hoisted". I know this should be on the Grammar and Spelling thread.

Best,

Jack
