Dickhead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word dickhead is a common sex phrase in the English language. It is used to accuse someone of being either incompetent, foolish, contemptible or unpleasant by insinuating that the person has a penis for a head or brain ("dick" being slang for the male sexual organ), or a penis protruding from the head. In 1920s England, a slang term for head lice used to be 'dicks', so when a child would get head lice they would be called 'dickhead' by their peers.
The term is considered a mild to vulgar profanity. In January 2006, UK local talk radio presenter Iain Lee called a caller named Jake Foreman a dickhead live on air. He was suspended for one day on Jan 7. He admitted to his misdemeanour live on air the following Monday. [citation needed]
