A foppish worrywart; a hot-winded sycophant; a cowardly blaggard.

Though its exact roots are unknown, its first known English usage is from the 1641 work "All the Doggyes In the Queene's Bedroome" a scathing satire on the Elizabethan culinary world. One biscuit chef, Vlad McAffee, oft ridiculed for his Irish-Prussian heritage and enormous hands, was thus defined for his constant fretting.

"McAffee, covered in flour, flopped his giante digits on the cutting table and stuttered incomprehensibly on the temperature of the ovene, a true PUSHWIG, if ever the Queene had seen one."
That C3PO is a real pushwig.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
