There was me thinking it meant something else:

1. a small bomb made of a metal or wooden box filled with powder, used to blast down a door or to make a hole in a wall.
   • a kind of firework that explodes with a sharp report.

It depends on context.

Have you ever read the story??

A "petard" is doing something really, really stupid.

the phrase is "hoist by his/your own petard" meaning your plans were turned against you or blew yourself up

getting up in the morning does often lead to one's downfall...

Makes more sense when you know what a "petard" actually is. Blown up indeed, lol

Well...it is a blast...

 

[Count Korbula]

the plans themselves don't actually have to be particularly stupid, nor does the planner. just err, or run into someone savvy enough to turn them around on you.
