Spock

Pointy-eared logician

Spock is a character from the science fiction franchise Star Trek—a half-human, half-Vulcan officer known for his pointed ears, raised eyebrow, and devotion to logic over emotion.

The name has become shorthand for someone coldly rational or emotionally detached: Don't be such a Spock about it.

The Vulcan salute and phrase live long and prosper are associated with him.
