a: Free radical ~
b: obnoxious drunk single guy
What: "free radicals are like an obnoxious drunk single guy at your high school reunion who keeps trying to pick up your wife." (women just reverse the image!) In simple biochemical terms, this single electron (free radical) is trying to find a partner (another electron) and, in the process, creates lots of cellular damage.
