"Oleic" is a word in ENGLISH
Pertaining to, derived from, or contained in, oil; as, oleic
acid, an acid of the acrylic acid series found combined with glyceryl
in the form of olein in certain animal and vegetable fats and oils,
such as sperm oil, olive oil, etc. At low temperatures the acid is
crystalline, but melts to an oily liquid above 14/ C.
One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating and repeating the very very obvious, as in It's a nice day, or You're very tall, or Oh dear you seem to have fallen down a thirty-foot well, are you alright? At first Ford had formed a theory to account for this strange behaviour. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths probably seize up. After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favour of a new one. If they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working. After a while he abandoned this one as well as being obstructively cynical.
