Paddock plaster (Paddock pleister): something that sticks to your finger, then to your other finger, then to something else before you finally think you've got rid of it and it shows up again later.
After my mother's Whipped Cream Trees, today an expression coined by my father. Have a look at the TinTin strip, and all will be clear. (Captain Haddock, yes, I know, but Bianca Castafiore calls him Paddock. This is how deep the nerdiness goes in our family.)
