I think there's also a slight double meaning in the movie title. Of course, trick mainly refers to a one-night stand/pick up. But I also think it refers to a "trick of fate" in how the 2 guys meet, then actually become closer because they can't find a place to hook up.

This discussion made we want to see "Trick" again, which I did the other day. It turns out I'm not such an interesting commentator and observermaybe just a guy with a quirky memory: during the closing credits a song called "Trick of Fate" played!

A trick is, primarily, the client of a prostitute.
It was supposedly used by gay men for a person one has picked up for the purposes of casual sex.
I have never called my casual partners that, nor do my friends. I suspect it is an obsolete usage. Jim Fall, the director of this film, is like 50 years old.
Snobbery is a form of romanticism, the chastity of the perfectionist
