The Origin of the Booby Trap.
Booby trap comes from a sailing background. Sailors would set up a simple rope noose on the decks of their ships baited with bread or stale biscuits. Passing seabirds, like booby's would land on deck seeking rest or shelter and be lured and caught in the rope, hence "bobby trap."
