Not a cliche, Shakespeare! enotes.com Hamlet: There's letters seal'd, and my two schoolfellows, Whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd— They bear the mandate, they must sweep my way And marshal me to knavery. Let it work; For 'tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his own petard, an't shall go hard But I will delve one yard below their mines And blow them at the moon. Hamlet Act 3, scene 4, 202–209 "Hoist with his own petard" literally means "blown up with his own mine." More generally, a "petard" is a hat-shaped device which can be be charged with gunpowder. Fart in Spanish is pedo. Hence a Spanish pedophile might be a fart-lover.

I thought a Petard was a small mortar that was used for bombardment, which oft of inferior metallurgy, thence it was a canon that it was as dangereux to the cannoneer as the cannonaded. Herein Petardo is illustrated as a bomba which is attached thereof to castle wall, which would only be dangereux if it prematurely exploded.

To the Military Engineer: There's letters seal'd: and my two schoolfellows, Whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd, They bear the mandate; they must sweep my way And marshal me to knavery. Let it work; For 'tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his own petar; and 't shall go hard But I will delve one yard below their mines And blow them at the moon: O, 'tis most sweet, When in one line two crafts directly meet. Hamlet, Thane of Denmark
