Bluto
Bluto is a large, brutish cartoon villain, best known as Popeye's rival for Olive Oyl's affections.
The name has become shorthand for a big, thuggish bully—someone who relies on size and aggression rather than wit: Some Bluto in a pickup truck cut me off.
The character also appeared as Brutus in later Popeye media.
