   Alexander Koryagin:   
      
   AK> Can  "hemorrhoid" be the synonym of a problem or   
   AK> very unpleasant experience in English?   
   AK>   
   AK> For instance, "It was a real hemorrhoid  to  run   
   AK> the new Windows on an old computer."   
      
   I  believe  the  reason  for Alexander's question is   
   that in everyday Russian `hemorroid' is the  literal   
   and figurative equivalent of the English PITA.
