dicked

1. 1
   verbslang

   Simple past and past participle of dick.

   The airline dicked him around for three weeks before it finally refunded the fare.

   She realized she had been dicked by the dealer once she saw what other buyers paid.

   Note

   The mistreating use usually brings a particle along, so the past often appears as dicked around or dicked up, and a passive can be built with got as well as be: we got dicked on the price. Both verbs behind the form, this one and a sexual one, are vulgar slang, which keeps it out of formal speech. The same spelling serves as the adjective for being in trouble.

   Having a penis of the kind named by the word it is joined to, as in small-dicked or two-dicked.

   The critic wrote the hero off as a limp-dicked coward who never once stands up to his boss.

   The forum was full of big-dicked braggarts posting measurements nobody had asked for.

   Note

   The word needs a first half before it means anything: small-dicked, limp-dicked, two-dicked, hyphenated before the noun. It thrives in insults, as in a limp-dicked excuse for a man from Catherine Anderson's My Sunshine (2005), and in bawdy similes such as luckier than a two-dicked dog, from Stefan Fatsis's Word Freak (2001). It does not grade, and willied covers the same ground.

   Note

   A word for the predicament itself, it sits after be and often takes a booster in front: he is really dicked, they are completely dicked. It does not compare, so the booster does the work that more or most would do elsewhere. In company where it would offend, in trouble or stuck says the same thing.
