A trochee, Dum-da, is used by a poet tho' very few know it; a tro-chee is self-referential. An iamb, da-Dum, to confuse or amuse or generally abuse; pronounced i-amb, is instead a trochee. A spondee, Dum-Dum, is like a black hole; somewhat hokey, pronounced spon-dee, is always a trochee. A dactyl, Dum-da-da, like the anapest from Budapest, pronounced dac-tyl, is also trochee. And an anapest, da-da-Dum, as I understand, in another fun factyl, pronounced an-a-pest, is a dactyl!
