Think of your app as a vital organ, slowly bleeding into the body  
cavity.

The precious blood isn't going anywhere outside the body but is no  
longer available and the loss of circulating blood plus the  
accumulated leaked blood is causing problems with other things.

Hence, it's a leak.

(OK, blame too much House. Hope nobody was eating at the time but you  
shouldn't do that because it results in crumbs in your keyboard).
