I heard this used to describe someone I know to be of excellent character and high morals. It appeared to have been used perjoratively. I finally found it defined in OED as a person of low or insignificent standing -- BUT -- the person using the word descriptively was nasty-faced. Is there another definition? In a rush. Excuse spelling OK?
