I'm not a scientist, so I have to leach off of people like Rick

(Post #1462)

I think you're probably 'leeching' off Rick. If someone were percolating a liquid (coffee?) through Rick, and you were a soluble running off him, then you would be 'leaching' off Rick <GG>


Well in a last-ditch attempt at a defense, I can report my Chambers British-type dictionary has an entry:

leach, leachour (Spens.) for leech, lecher

But as I wasn't trying to be poetical, I'll concede the point. <g>

(But note that pouring coffee (or preferably beer) into Rick is reportedly an effective method of leaching good information out of him. I won't even go anywhere near the leachour thing <g>).
