what about your petard? has it been hoisted..???
Oh...I've hoisted many a petard. Recently, at work (software co.), I had a PC all setup with the stuff I needed to test something, and while trying to prepare another machine for similar work...wiped out that complete setup by accidentally selecting it in our PC re-imaging software -- so, it was essentially brought back to a clean OS state without any of the software I needed (as if it were a new PC from the store). There went about two hours of work - doh!
Hillary Clinton may have hoisted a petard or two...

Use the phrase correctly. It is properly stated: TO BE THE HOST OF ONE'S OWN PETARD. Meaning that one is destroyed or damaged by one's own deeds or device.
