ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE:
There's none but witches do inhabit here;
And therefore 'tis high time that I were hence.
She that doth call me husband, even my soul
Doth for a wife abhor. But her fair sister,
Possess'd with such a gentle sovereign grace,
Of such enchanting presence and discourse,
Hath almost made me traitor to myself:
But, lest myself be guilty to self-wrong,
I'll stop mine ears against the mermaid's song.

A geological term for the uppermost part of an inclined structure where the likelihood of finding oil is considered to be the greatest. As oil and gas tend to accumulate at the top of underground structures, traps and domes, the higher up on the structure a well is drilled the better the chances of encountering oil and avoiding the underlying water.
