I was listening to "The World Tonight", a current-affairs program on
BBC Radio Four, when I heard (I'm sure) a commentator describe the
current nastiness in Lebanon as "a potentially-explosive vaccuum".

Do WHAT?

This is a vacuum tube or crt.  The explosion is called an implosion.
It really sucks.
