Social Sciences - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / social games/Facebook
English term or phrase: nits and kinks
Trata-se de uma crítica a um jogo de Facebook, segundo a qual o jogo ainda tem "a few nits and kinks to work out". Parece uma expressão idiomática sugerindo a existência de pequenos problemas a serem ajustados. No Google só encontrei 4 ocorrências desta expressão, todas nesta área (jogos de computador), sendo 2 exatamente no texto que estou traduzindo.

Segue o parágrafo completo:

"Overall, Social City is a fantastic game. Okay, so it isn’t SimCity, but few games are. It does have a few nits and kinks to work out, but it is still a lot of fun, with some very quick user rewards for new players."

Eu entendi o significado e posso chegar a uma tradução razoável, mas se alguém conhecer a expressão específica e souber o equivalente mais exato em português, será uma grande ajuda!

Obrigada,

Carla
