Many many distant years ago when driving in France I hit an object in the road and it ruptured the fuel line, having pulled over and plugged the leak I wandered to find a phone (non cell phone years). Having located a shop with a phone I proceeded to call the breakdown service speaking with my school boy French. The lady asked me to explain the problem I could not think what burst pipe was so in the end said "Le peep poof", she understood me!!!
