“Gimlet, son of Groin” is a dwarf appearing in the well known Harvard Lampoon parody Bored of the Rings by the famous Dutch author Tolkkeen with four M’s and a silent Q. The original dwarf being, um, lampooned here is of course Tolkien’s Gimli, son of Glóin.

In the Discworld canon, this is the first time Gimlet makes an actual on-stage appearance, though he has been mentioned a number of times before, most notably in Reaper Man. A Gimlet Eye is a piercing stare or squint.
