Alexander Charles "Oofy" Prosser is a recurring fictional character from the stories of British comic writer P. G. Wodehouse, being the millionaire member of the Drones Club and a friend of Jeeves's master Bertie Wooster. The most wealthy and envied member of the Club, he has the nickname "Oofy", which is British slang for "wealthy" or "made of money".〔"Prosser" was also late 19th century British slang, meaning a "beggar", one who cadges loans, and thus his surname puns on standard English beggar and beggar, slang for a "bloke" or "chap"; the entire name thus meaning "wealthy bloke". – ("oofy" being slang for "wealthy" or "loaded", literally "monied" or "made of money". )〕 ==Overview== Because Oofy is both constantly being asked for £5 or £10 and a miser for loans, "''a man in whose wallet moths nest and raise large families''", he is considered ugly on both the inside and the outside – the pimples on his face being quite famous. However, Oofy can be a big spender (serving strawberries in winter, at a cost of around a pound sterling each), or a fierce gambler (in a casino, or on bets). Oofy Prosser was featured in 8 episodes (out of 23) of the 1990–1993 British TV series ''Jeeves and Wooster'' (in seasons 1–2 and 4, aired 1990–1991 and 1993 in the UK), played by Richard Dixon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oofy Prosser」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
