Petard

A petard was a bell-shaped bomb used to breach a door or a wall. Now that we have advanced to ICBMs, this low-tech word survives in the phrase "to be hoist by one's own petard" meaning "to have one's scheme backfire". The idiom was popularized by Shakespeare in his play Hamlet. Hamlet, having turned the tables on those tasked with killing him, says:
For 'tis the sport to have the engineer
Hoist with his own petard

'Brown Arm' - I know its two words, but who cares?

Means 'shit stirrer' basically. I had never heard of this term but apparently my Dad used it to describe a chap who he worked with who was always grassing on folk.
