olive
/ˈɒlɪv/
When used as a noun, "olive" can be both countable (e.g., "three olives") and uncountable when referring to the fruit in general or as an ingredient. When used as an adjective to describe color, it is often paired with the word "green" (olive green), though using "olive" alone is also common and correct.

🎬Tuesday afternoon, David is at a fancy deli during his lunch break.
David Smith
Hey Brian, this sandwich has an olive in it. I'm totally not feeling it.
Brian
Just pick it out and get back to work. You're killing me here.

David uses 'not feeling it' (slang for not liking or being in the mood for something) to describe his distaste for the olive, while Brian uses 'killing me' (idiom for being extremely annoyed/exhausted by someone's behavior).
