PeePrune, although it sounds very painful and, so far, hasn't promoted any growth........

A clue might be found in the origin.

RAF WW2 training character called Pilot Office Percy Prune. His cartoon task was to educate in flight safety but he acquired a cult following independent of that task.

A read of some of the URL hits for the following Google search will provide considerable amusement and background -
