swearomatic 

A portmanteau word (from swear + automatic) meaning a task that automatically makes you want to swear whilst doing the task. The task may be fiddly or may have steps in it that cause you unnecessary pain, causing you to make full use of your vocabulary of expletives. This is particularly the case for small, menial, unnecessary difficult tasks, such as tasks involving technology or craft items.

A useful word to alert those around you that what you are doing or about to do may cause you to loose your temper, say words you might regret or otherwise be grumpy to those around you who you may otherwise have a happy existence. On being alerted, those around you can then leave you alone or put in place supportive measures to help you get through the task in hand.

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!
