You all know what I meant by the vacuum 'leaking

Of course, it was perfectly obvious, although rather a nice way of

The analogy that immediately came to my mind was that of holes in a
semiconductor constituting a current of positive charges.
I suppose one could also say that debt leaks into my bank account and
is removed when my salary gets paid. All the while leaving a negative,
reducing charge of debt in the account.
