It is false that the connotations of a word have little effect on its literal meaning. Connotation are your personal feelings that a certain word evokes when you think about it/read it/write it. For example, the word home means a house, but its connotation is usually positive - you connect it with love, warmth, etc.
You should consider where your going to put it and what your going to do if you succeeded. And whats going to go on the trap to catch whatever it is your trying to catch
