Yup, oblate spheroid is right the definition.

I can remember a Maths Lesson at Worthing High School in the 3rd or 4th Form with a certain Scottish maths master in the mid 60's where he described the earth as an oblate spheroid, which he further described as "an orange that someone has sat on" - a fairly precise definition there.
