Frequently asked questions

What does it mean to call someone a dick?

Informally, calling someone a dick means they are behaving in a mean, arrogant, selfish, or obnoxious way. It is a rude insult but a fairly mild one, often used casually. Though impolite, this figurative sense is heard far more in everyday speech than the literal anatomical meaning.

Does 'Dick' have other meanings?

Yes. Capitalised, Dick is a traditional nickname for the name Richard. In older slang, a 'dick' also meant a detective, as in the phrase 'private dick.' So depending on context the same spelling can be a name, dated slang for an investigator, or vulgar slang.
