Pronunciation: [ˈɔ͡ɪl sˈə͡ʊkt] (IPA) 
The spelling of the phrase "oil soaked" is relatively straightforward. The first word, "oil," is spelled phonetically as /ɔɪl/, with an "o" sound as in "toil" and an "i" sound as in "oil." The second word, "soaked," is spelled as /soʊkt/, with a long "o" sound as in "know" and a "k" sound at the end. When pronounced as a whole, "oil soaked" should sound like /ɔɪl soʊkt/, with emphasis on the first syllable of each word.
Oil soaked refers to something that has been saturated, soaked, or thoroughly impregnated with oil. It describes the state or condition of an object, material, or substance that has absorbed or absorbed an excessive amount of oil, often resulting in a sticky, greasy, or slippery texture.
When an object is oil soaked, it means that it has come into contact with oil, and the oil has penetrated its surface, permeating its fibers or pores. This can occur as a result of accidental spills, leaks, or prolonged exposure to oily substances. Common examples of oil-soaked items include garments, rags, papers, towels, sponges, or even natural materials like wood or soil.
The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation, event, or person that is deeply influenced or affected by oil or oil-related activities. For example, an oil-soaked economy refers to a country whose wealth and prosperity heavily relies on the production, export, or revenue generated from oil resources.
Considering the harmful effects that oil can have on the environment and health, an oil-soaked condition often denotes contamination, pollution, or something that requires cleaning, remediation, or special treatment to address the oil's presence and minimize its impacts.
