Stalemate is a situation in chess where the player whose turn it is to move has no legal moves but is not in check. Stalemate ends the game, with the result a draw. However, in certain chess variants, such as suicide chess, stalemate is not necessarily a draw, and is deemed a win for either (a) the player with fewer pieces (a draw results if the players have the same number of pieces) or (b) the stalemated player.
Stalemate has also become a widely used metaphor for other situations where there is a conflict or contest between two parties, such as war or political negotiations, and neither side is able to achieve victory, resulting in what is also called a dead heat, standoff, or deadlock. In that usage, unlike in chess, "stalemate" often refers to a temporary impasse that is ultimately resolved.

It's called a stalemate. I've ended that way before. It's because you are trapped but not in check that it isn't a checkmate.

Do not make a move that can put your opponent in this situation, you will not win. It is stalemate.

that's a stalemate and is the fault of the agressor. The person with the advantage needs to be more aware.

If it is his move, but he can't because it puts him immediately in check before you get the next turn, then it is a stalemate.
It is the dominant side's responsibillity to make sure that this does not happen. Sometimes the weaker side can force it but not too often. It's usually a sign the guy who would have been the victor screwed up.

if the king can only place himself in check then you have a stalemate.

Stalemate, if he is not in check, but cannot move and it is his turn, it is stalemate
