Yet another kind of kink is a problem, complication, or weakness in a plan: “The major kink in her plan turned out to be that no one was interested in buying hand-knitted cat sweaters.”
扭结是指直线上的弯曲或扭曲，就像花园软管中的扭结阻止水自由流动。

词源：
kink (n.)1670s, “knot-like contraction or short twist in a rope, thread, hair, etc., originally a nautical term, from Dutch kink “twist in a rope” (also found in French and Swedish), which is probably related to Old Norse kikna “to bend backwards, sink at the knees” as if under a burden” (see kick (v.)). Figurative sense of “odd notion, mental twist, whim” first recorded in American English, 1803, in writings of Thomas Jefferson; specifically “a sexual perversion, fetish, paraphilia” is by 1973 (by 1965 as “sexually abnormal person”).Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
kink (n.)1670s，“绳子、线、头发等中的结状收缩或短捻，最初是航海术语，源自荷兰语 kink“绳子的扭曲”（也见于法语和瑞典语），其中可能与古挪威语 kikna 有关，“向后弯曲，膝盖下沉”，仿佛承受重担”（参见踢（v.））。 1803 年，托马斯·杰斐逊 (Thomas Jefferson) 在美式英语中首次记录了“奇怪的观念、精神扭曲、突发奇想”的比喻意义；具体来说，“性变态、恋物癖、性欲倒错”是 1973 年（1965 年为“性异常者”）。相关条目及更多
