peer agreement (net): +1with grease traps Explanation: "Grease trap" is the standard expression used for basins that catch ('lapat') oil, grease, lard etc, separating it from waste water before that goes into the public sewerage system. You can usually find them at restaurants where there's a lot of frying going on. I remember a few years ago the local nursery school was flooded with backed up sewerage because the grease trap was full and clogged up the pipes ... yum. This is a nice explanation from the Colorado Dept of Public Health: "Grease traps capture the oil and grease from the flow of wastewater by slowing down the flow of hot greasy water through the grease trap (actually a tank) and allowing it to cool. As it cools, the grease and oil separate out of the water and float to the top of the trap. The cooler water continues to flow down the drain pipe to the sewer while baffles prevent the accumulated grease and oil from flowing out of the grease trap." See http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/HM/grease.pdf ... no pictures of Olivia or John there, though, I guess they don't have much of a sense of humour. BTW, I don't think oil trap is bad but if you google for it you'll find lots of references to petroleum oil. Example sentence(s):
