Some entries for reference:
C
- You shoot yourself in the foot.
- You shoot yourself in the foot and then nobody else can
figure out what you did.
C++
- You accidentally create a dozen instances of yourself and
shoot them all in the foot. Providing emergency medical
assistance is impossible since you can't tell which are bitwise
copies and which are just pointing at others and saying,
"That's me, over there."
Python
- You shoot yourself in the foot and then brag for hours about
how much more elegantly you did it than if you had been using C
or (God forbid) Perl.
What would the entry for D be? :)

1) You pre-shoot the bullet while the gun is being made - for
efficiency (CTFE). As a result, it misses the foot, which has not
grown yet.
2) From that link:

this one is good:
Concurrent Euclid:
You shoot yourself in somebody else's foot.
