As an oil billionaire, I find it deeply offensive.
Please desist or I will not let you have anymore.
From now on it will be called "Nice Oil"!

Well, we do sometimes call it "Light Sweet Crude"
You see, you give people an inch and they'll take a mile.

If you have ever heard oil coming out of the ground, and smelled it, you would know why they call it crude.

it is considered crude because of its specific gravity. refineries break the oil down into clean usable fluids. Lower gravity crudes take more refining. Higher gravity crudes are considered sweet because they do not have to be refined as much to get usable fluids.
