Pejorative of "Butane", the inflammible agent used in lighters. Coined by Hank Hill when someone so much as suggests that it has as much use as propane.

A bastard gas is a stupid gas that is good for almost nothing because it can’t be used for cooking or turning on grills. Butane is not a bastard gas. Pentane is a bastard gas. 1-Pentene is a bastard gas. Isopentane is a bastard gas. Ethyl chloride is a bastard gas with a boiling point of 54.14°F 12.3°C. Ethanol is a bastard gas. Anything flammable chemical with a point of 54.14°F 12.3°C or higher, or any non flammable chemical is a bastard gas. If it's a liquid at standard room temperature (68°F-77°F, 20°C-25°C) and pressure (1 atmosphere), it's definitely a bastard gas. Some "Bastard gases" make great solvents in the laboratory for extraction or chemical reactions. 2-Pentene is a bastard gas.

Pentane is a bastard gas. It's boiling point of 96.98°F (36.1°C) makes it a liquid at room temperature and useless for gas grilling and refilling butane lighters.
Hank: Bobby! Stop playing around with that bastard gas pentane and help me hook up the butane to the gas grill, since they didn't have propane.
