Get the Oiler mug.

One who lets blind rage control their thought, and who feels the need to place blame that should be shared by many, onto one.

Even though the whole class was screaming, Mrs. Robinson pulled an Oiler fan and blamed her headache only on Johnnie.

OILER

an aquaintence (boy or girl) that anyone in their right mind would never, EVER in one's entire life even consider having even the SLIGHTEST notion of physical contact with. until, of course, their last hook up was an abnormally long time ago. Thus, that someone feels the technique they had previously perfected is fading, resulting in the usage of an oiler.
THE TWO RULES OF OILING:
1. NEVER BE THE OILER!
(and people can always tell because the people needing an oiler consult their friends before utilizing one)
2. to all you oilers out there...it doesn't mean love, ok.?

not that i speak from experience or anyshit....

Suzie: "Bobby is so gross. i cant believe he gave me his number, knowing im dating tommy"
Holly: "keep it, you might need an OILER later"

...1 breakup and 6 months later....

Suzie: "its been so long since i've kissed someone..where the hell is bobby's number?"
