A magnate in the oil industry. While in a lucrative business, no one knows exactly what one does other than marry their enemy's granddaughter and fill her belly with his seed.

The maximum rate of world oil production. With the exception of a few anamolies due to unusual geology and other various factors, every oil field follows a pattern in its production where oil production increase as it's first developed, reaches a maximum point or plateaus at a lesser artifical maximum, and then declines from then onward. When this maximum production is reached on a worldwide level, that is peak oil.
The real interests of this are of course the effects decreasing oil production will have on the world economy if the mainstream is not converted to a different alternative energy infastructure beforehand. Since the world economy's infastructure is so heavily dependent on oil, the price of everything else will go up as well as oil (which will skyrocket as the price of oil has been kept at an artifical low for the last several decades by excessive supply), and the economy will come to a crashing and spectacular finish as the world is thrown into super depression and the social instability that entails. More dire predicts based on the reliance of modern agriculture on cheap oil speak of a massive dieoff as the world's food production, some claim, will no longer be able to support a world population above 4 billion.
Armed with such predictions, many peak oilists are strong advocates of alternative energy in the hopes these apocalyptic scenarios don't come to pass.
Examples:
1. Dude: Things will be like a paradise on Earth forever and ever. Nothing bad will ever happen to us ever again. Human genius can solve every problem no matter how unrealistically dire, just like TV!
Dude2: But your forgetting... PEAK OIL!
2. Unfounded optimism won't move your car.

In Portugal this word (which translates to Azeite) is used to describe a rare kind of Fuckboy potentially only found in this country.
Imagine a new race of Fuckboy created by mixing the actual Universal fuckboy with the lack of information found in Portugal's villages.
The result is a person finding about a trend that went out of fashion 5 years ago and wearing it proudly, spreading it with his friends, plus adding Kizomba in the mix, thus creating a legion of Olive Oil(ers) (Azeiteiros) who leave trails of olive oil in their wake.
"Miguel is such an Azeiteiro. Look at all that olive oil."
"You can literally see the olive oil overflowing that room."
"José slipped in Julio's olive oil last week and broke his leg. I'm afraid he'll never walk again."
