Fly in the ointment 

when you are out with a group of friends, this is the guy who always fucks things up. Like when you put antibiotic ointment on a cut and fly gets stuck in it, you say "fuck!"
For example, charlie is a fly in the ointment,

tom: " the guys are getting together tonight, wanna come?"

Charlie: " yea!"

Charlie then shows up with his girlfriend

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!
