   Not when used in the past tense, as in the preceding sentence, genius.   
      
   "That's the usual claim when one is 'hoist' by one's own petard" is   
   grammatically incorrect.   
      
   Hoist \Hoist\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Hoisted; p. pr. & vb. n.   
      Hoisting.] [OE. hoise, hyse, OD. hyssen, D. hijshen; akin   
      to LG. hissen, Dan. hisse, Sw. hissa.]   
      To raise; to lift; to elevate; esp., to raise or lift to a   
      desired elevation, by means of tackle, as a sail, a flag, a   
      heavy package or weight.   
      
   Hoisted: verb, simple past tense.   
      
   But thanks for the grammar lame... er, lesson.
