...when referring to the BP inflicted catastrophe. Seems a bit misleading.
What did they used to call it when the wildcatters struck oil? A Gusher?
And that's what we've had for nigh on a month now... A Gusher running non-stop. Every time I hear "leak" now I just replace the term in my mind. Ive tried it when talking with others and depending on the audience I get mixed responses...
"Leak" my ass... Unless they mean the actual earth itself is leaking... That I'd buy.
