I think you've got the idea. A trap or trapping equates to getting of early, but unfortunately a trap these days is'nt like the days of old when you buggered off at lunchtime with your supervisors blessing. Try that these days and your likely to be caught by the smug arse manager guarding the trapping tunnel!
As to where the term origionated from is anyones idea ?
