Lego Nail. A slightly painful affliction caused by Legos.

Lego Nail (LEH-go): Damage caused to the fingernails by Lego bricks; usually caused by attempting to separate Lego plates.

Lego Nail usually causes ragged edges, peeling and/or breaking of the nails. It can easily be removed with a good nail clipping.

Eventually, Lego realized this problem and created the brick separator, stopping this problem. Still, if you forget about your separator, you may find yourself with a nasty case of Lego Nail.
