Memes and terms
IT'S A TRAP
It's a trap is a meme based on the line by Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi; started on Fark around 2002, and spread to the rest of the Internet over a period of years, before ending up on /b/.
The original meme was transformed into a response to pictures of men who appear to be women; a "trap" set out to catch the unsuspecting observer into getting turned on by a picture of a man because he thought it was actually a woman.
IT'S A TARP
"It's a trap" continued to degenerate into IT'S A TARP, keeping the same meaning. New photoshops depicting actual tarps were created, to go along with the modified meme.
