Artemis said: Quote My tendency would be to call it liquid gas (li-quid as in the money), but the Brits consistently call it "leaky gas". Is that a common name for propane in the UK? I'd guess that the Brits are pronouncing it as the company's name is pronounced - I don't follow the Tour de France and I've never heard of the company, but if it's French then Liqui would be pronounced LiKee or something like that. And, yes, taking the mickey is pulling someone's leg or, in US parlance, jerking their chain. So if you hadn't read HP 6 and I told you that Harry died, I'd be taking the mickey.
