dick · penis (rude)

noun, verb

One way to hold this word: it is the roughest everyday name for a man's penis, and everything else it does is that same rough word aimed somewhere new. Aimed at a person, it says his behaviour is unbearable. Aimed at an amount, it says the amount is zero and you are about it. Aimed at how someone treats you, it says they are wasting your time on purpose. What gets borrowed each time is the , not the body part.

dick 可以想成一個「最粗的字」。它原本是男性生殖器最直接的粗話講法。後來的每一種用法,都像是把這個粗字丟到別的地方去:丟到一個人身上,就是罵他行為很爛;丟到數量上,就是「一點都沒有」,而且講的人明顯不爽;丟到別人對待你的方式上,就是一直拖你、耍你。被借走的其實不是身體部位,而是那股粗魯的力道。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary files this noun under the etymology of the male name Dick, a rhyming nickname for Rick and so for Richard. The packet gives that name tree but does not spell out how the name came to stand for the body part, so treat the link as a pointer to look up, not as an explanation.

來源資料把這個名詞掛在人名 Dick 的來源底下:Dick 是 Rick 的押韻暱稱,而 Rick 來自 Richard。資料只給了名字的來源鏈,沒有說明名字怎麼變成身體部位的說法,所以這條線索只能當作待查的指引,不是解釋。

dick · detective (old American slang)

noun

A different word that only looks the same: dick cut down from detective. Hold the picture of an old American crime film — a hat, a coat, a small office with a cracked window, and someone paying the man inside to follow a stranger.

這是另一個剛好長得一樣的字,可以想成是 detective 被砍短、念歪之後的樣子。畫面比較像一部美國老片:帽子、風衣、一間窗戶有裂痕的小辦公室,還有一個走進來付錢請他跟蹤別人的客人。它跟粗話那個 dick 沒有關係,只是拼法撞在一起。

From the word’s history

Wiktionary, entry 'dick' etymology 2: 'A shortening and alteration of detective.' This is a separate historical route from the vulgar noun.

來源資料在 dick 的第二條來源下寫著:detective 的截短與變音。這跟粗話那條線是兩條不同的歷史路線,只是拼法相同。
