Captain Haddock
Captain Haddock is a fictional character from Hergé's *Tintin* comic series—a bearded sea captain prone to colorful outbursts of creative insults: Bashi-bazouks! Troglodytes!
He's Tintin's loyal companion, known for his love of Loch Lomond whisky, volatile temper, and eventual inheritance of Marlinspike Hall.
His name has become shorthand for bombastic but harmless cursing.
