Penises are called dicks because of the idiomatic reference "every Tom, Dick and Harry" for ordinary people.
Explain
Think mint juleps on a breezy afternoon, but with dicks in them. Clinking around with the ice. See where Iโm going with this?
No, but please elaborate...
But we had Dick Nixon, Dick Cavett, and Dick van Dyke during that period.And lots more. So I don't think that's it.
As a long term owner of a dick, I'm pretty sure we don't have periods.
