A character in Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta HMS Pinafore. He's sort of the foil to the moralizing by the crew. He's an unsavory-looking character, and universally disliked by the crew (and the feeling is mutual). He tends to get smacked down for saying pretty much the same things the rest of the crew is saying, and also works against their plots.

Not to be confused with Deadeye Dick.
