I've just remembered a wonderful bit of dialogue from a Mary Stewart novel. Approximately:

Character1 (aged about 14): She was furious, being hoist in her own juice like that. Is that right ? It sounds a bit strange.
Character2 (grown up): I rather think you mean stewed with her own petard. But we'll let it pass.
