Flammable. An oddity, chiefly useful in saving lives. The common word meaning "combustible" is inflammable. But some people are thrown off by the in- and think inflammable means "not combustible."

Unless you are operating such a truck and hence are concerned with the safety of children and illiterates, use inflammable.
