One who makes excessive profits on goods in short supply.

That pretty much sums it up. You truly think oil companies are not profiteering? Or do you only think that after you logically twist the definition of profiteering?

I didn't twist it, I posted it. I also pointed out how the definition doesn't fit.

You have injected your liberalism into it. That is the twist.
