The title [possible spoilers]


The original title disconcerts me. Anyone knows why it's called The Honey Pot?. I think maybe it has relation with the powdered gold of the clock but it seems a bit round-about.

The good folks at Merriam-Webster tell us that honeypot can refer to a desirable person or a source of great wealth.

(SPOILER)

two more definitions:

1) from CNN.com: "honeypots", network equipment designed to attract hackers into secure lockboxes rather than let them hack at the network proper. When criminals move in to exploit security flaws in a honeypot, silent alarms go off and network managers can block the intrusion and begin amassing evidence for use in court.

[poster's note: ie a trap! i havent seen the film yet, but i'm going to guess this is the correct use. anything with Miss Maggie has GOT to be good]


2) from urbandictionary.com: vulgar term for female genitalia
