sure, vegetable oil, butter, margarine or crisco are all 'lubricants'. It basically means anything that reduces friction or sticking.

Yea it's available in our kitchen.
Lubricant is a substance such as grease or oil, that reduces friction when applied as a surface coating to moving parts.
Most common type lubricants are -
1. Water - It can be used in its own or as a major component in combination with one of the other base oils.
2. Mineral oil - It is used to encompass lubricating base oil derived from crude oil.
3. Vegetable (natural) oil - These are primarily triglyceride esters derived from plants and animals. For lubricant base oil use the vegetable derived materials are preffered. Common ones include high oleic canola oil, palm oil, sunflowerseed oil and rapeseed oil from vegetable and Tall oil from animal sources.
4. Synthetic oils -
Polyalpha-olefin (PAO)
Synthetic esters
Polyalkylene glycols (PAG)
Phosphate esters
Alkylated naphthalenes (AN)
Silicate esters
Lonic fluids.
5. Others

The word lubricant comes from the word "lubricare" which means "to make slippery" in Latin.
There are many types. Chack out the link.
