Bah.

It's not something like a barnacle is it?

Or am I getting it confused with those wee crustaceans that get stuck to the side of boats.

EDIT: Binnacle?!

Binnacle it is (ultimately derived from Latin habitare, meaning to dwell, in which the T sound evolved to an N sound while the word transferred through French to English.)
