I recently came upon a recipe that surprised me... after years of hearing margarine referred to as"oleo" by my mom... I found it today in a recipe when looking at the 100 days of holidays cookie recipe for "Nut Rings"....Here are some other oddities of "oleo"
Oleo is a term for oils. It is commonly used to refer to a variety of things:
* Margarine
* Oleic acid
* Oleo (shock absorber), A type of shock absorbers on airplane landing gear
* Oleo (composition), a Sonny Rollins bebop piece
* Oleo (website), a popular Lyrics website
* Oleo (song) , a bebop composition by Sonny Rollins
* Óleo, a city in the São Paulo state in Brazil
* GNU Oleo, a spreadsheet program
