The purpose of a p trap is to stop sewage gases from getting into your drain pipes. We like to have garbage disposals/dishwashers in our area p-trapped as the same plumbing services both.

P traps are part of the plumbing.  

The other pee trap is when you are on a long road trip and there are no McDonalds within 100 miles.

It's a curved pipe under the sink that traps your

"Pearl earings" or the

"Personal belongings, when they go down the drain. You will be able to

"Pluck" them out, before they end up in the

 Public Sewer.

 Phew!

Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers A "P Trap" is the drain pipe under the sink shaped like the letter "P". It prevents sewer gases from backing up into the house. Also, where you may find that valuable piece of jewelry dropped down the sink.

In most homes, there is a P-trap installed under the sinks in the bathroom and kitchens. A P-trap is a plumbing fixture that has several purposes. It traps debris that has drained from the sink and prevents it from forming a clog deep within the plumbing system, and to stops sewer gases from passing into the home.

I know this one. That's a U joint under your sink to keep the sewer gases from getting into the house. If it dries out you will get a bad smell in the house.
