Just to confuse everything, you'll sometimes see a set referred to by good writer as "a set of trips" or even (e.g. by Harrington) as trips. I'm of the opinion that any set can be considered trips, but obviously trips with a pair on board isn't a set.
Moreover, uninformed people use the two interchangeably. I heard "set" used with a pair on board at least twice in Tunica. Both times I tried to make some comment about how they didn't have a set, if they'd had a set they'd now have a full house, etc. But it's a losing battle since I don't want to become the table nit, and my prediction is that this useful distinction will die out because of people's ignorance.
Finally, I think any trips can be called a set in non-flop games.
