Here is a definition of “politics” that I like. It’s kind of sad, because it fits so well.
“Poli” Latin meaning many. “Tics” meaning blood sucking vermin.

Clap Trap
“Clap trap” of course means nonsense, but the derivation of the term is interesting. It is a political term. When a politician ends a speech, the will say something sure to bring applause, such as “God bless America,” hence a clap trap.
