Definition
A vulgar slang word for the penis. It is also used informally as an insult for someone who is rude, selfish, or unpleasant.
Usage & Nuances
Very informal and often offensive. In modern everyday English, the insult meaning is common in phrases like 'Don't be a dick.' Do not use it in polite, professional, or academic contexts. It is stronger and cruder than 'jerk'. It can also appear in the proper name 'Dick', but that is separate.
