   Awright, did my taxes.  Me and the wife Jennifer Lopez thought Ben Affleck 
looked bloated on Saturday Night Live....Time to talk about extra virgins.
   I saw this on a menu as EVOO and was a little confused.  Some give it as 
E.V.O.O.  It looks bad--like some blend of "evil" + "voodoo."  Do you serve 
EVOO with TIVO?
   OED added "extra virgin olive oil" as recently as December 2002. "EVOO" is 
not listed.  There is a citation in 1981.  Newspaperarchive has something 
from 1916.

...we don't have to have first-pressing, EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL from Lucca, 
Italy, or 25.....Back Burner, but our first choice is OLIVE OIL and wine 
vinegar inexpensive.....Monsieur T., confided, is worth the EXTRA dollars because 
"it has class." Almost.....over lamb; mold to shape of meat. Trim off EXTRA at 
bottom. Brush top and sides with egg..
